Abstract

Polycentricity, reciprocity, and farmer adoption of conservation practices under community-based governance

Submitted by LNSW on 3 December 2008 - 9:34am

Summary of article:

Significant steps have occurred under Australia's 'regional delivery model' towards devolving responsibilities for natural resource management (NRM) to community-based regional bodies, particularly in respect of motivating farmers to adopt priority conservation practices. Challenges remain in effectively engaging the large populations covered by these bodies, especially with these bodies expected to assume responsibilities that risk them becoming perceived as extensions of government and favoring particular stakeholders.
