Sustainable agricultural development and project appraisal
研究如何将农业可持续性目标纳入常规的农业发展项目分析中，提出基于自然资本存量的可持续性标准，并以苏丹阿拉伯胶修复项目为例进行理论验证。
This paper is concerned with how the objective of agricultural sustainability can be incorporated into convention analyses of agricultural development projects. The most straightforward approach is to assume that agricultural sustainability, including the ecological concept of ‘resilience’ is dependent on the constancy of the natural capital stock. Special sustainability criteria need only be invoked in the presence of degradation or depletion; otherwise, economic efficiency can be optimally pursued. The resulting ‘rules’ for project appraisal are demonstrated both theoretically and with the example of a gum arabic rehabilitation project in Sudan.
