Property: Legal Link between People and the Soil

Paul Martin, John Page

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionary

Abstract

Soil management exists at the intersection between natural systems and human systems. Property rights are an important element in the transactions between man and the land. Soil health relies on property rights regimes that encourage the owner of the property right (individual or communal) to achieve their private goals, in ways that are sustainable. In this entry, the linkages between property, society, and soil health and some myths about property rights are explored.
