SOIL REFORM
OVERVIEW
Description
Soil degradation is often blamed for the poor performance of agriculture in developing economies; so too are policies which keep the prices of both outputs and inputs artificially low. Some economists have argued that pricing reforms will encourage soil depletion; others say that such reforms will encourage soil conservation.
Objective
