Land reform remains high on South Africa’s list of national priorities, but the results since 1994 have been meagre. One key issue that often stymies well-meaning reform minded institutions, bureaucrats, activists and land owners is a lack
of information on the land itself. A set of geo-spatial technologies are recommended to overcome this problem. - (AJC)
Neoliberal agricultural policy versus agrarian justice : farm workers and landredistribution in South Africa's Western Cape Province
Agricultural policy ; Commercial agriculture ; Farm ; Land ; Neo liberalism ; South Africa ; Western Cape
South Africa revised its landredistribution policy at the start of the Thabo Mbeki administration in 2000, moving away from a model aimed at poverty alleviation, towards one promoting a class of small black commercial farmers. This has been highly
problematic within the farming environment of the Western Cape. A rethinking of landredistribution in terms of smaller scale and less commercially oriented options is suggested. - (AJC)
The agricultural potential and sustainability of redistributedland in South Africa - the case of Mzikazi, KwaZulu-Natal
Agriculture ; Cultural capacity ; KwaZulu-Natal ; Land ; Soil ; South Africa
As part of the land reform programme, somme 500 000 formely landless people have received land. The quest for land took precedence over the sustainability of the land to support the livelihood of these poor communities. A soil analysis
of the Mzikazi lands suggests that it is not suitable for agriculture and that alternative strategies are required for the programme to succeed. - (AJC)
The principal objectives of this study were to assess the spatial variability of 137Cs within a cultivated field, (central Saskatchewan, Canada), and to examine the influence of grid size and positioning on estimates of sediment redistribution.
Quantification of soil redistribution in cultivated fields using caecium-137, Outlook, Saskatchewan

The objective of this study was to quantify the redistribution of soil by wind and cultivation. The artificial fall-out radionuclide caesium-137 was used as a tracer to estimate net soil redistribution. Two sites disturbed by cultivation, one since
The relative contribution of soil tillage and overland flow erosion to soil redistribution on agricultural land
This study uses evidence for the long-term (35 years) pattern of soil redistribution within 2 agricultural fields in the UK to identify the rlative importance of tillage and overland flow erosion. Spatially distributed long-term total soil
redistribution data for the fields (Dalicott Farm and Rufford Forest Farm) were obtained using the caesium-137 technique. These data were compared with predicted patterns of soil redistribution.
in magnetic susceptibility between topsoil and subsoil, and between soils of different slope positions could be used to quantify soil redistribution in a cultivated field.

Soil redistribution and pedologic transformations in coastal plain croplands

In agricultural basins of the southeastern coastal plain there are typically large disparities between upland soil erosion and sediment delivered to streams. This suggests that colluvial storage and redistribution of eroded soil within croplands
processes were all found to be active in the redistribution of soil.

Quantifying and modelling the impact of land consolidation and field borders on soil redistribution in agricultural landscapes (1954–2009)

This study focuses on the impact of land consolidation and changes in landscape structure on medium term soil erosion and landscape morphology within a field located in a part of the Quincampoix watershed, southwestern Parisian Basin, France
. The area was consolidated in 1967 and the AA. used the 137Cs-technique to quantify soil erosion for the period (1954-2009). The results showed that tillage processes dominated the soil redistribution in the study area for the last 55 years. Furthermore
, the AA. demonstrated that soil redistribution was largely affected by the presence of current and also former field borders. They also showed that the use of an accurate DEM resulting from LIDAR data, based on present-day topography, leads
to the underestimation of soil redistribution rates by the model, especially in this landscape submitted to recent and important morphological changes. These results have important implications for the simulation of tillage erosion processes and the understanding of soil
redistribution processes in complex cultivated areas.

Etude des caractères politiques et socio-culturels du logement informel en Turquie, dans un cadre analytique qui prend en compte les interactions entre principes de réciprocité, de redistribution (principe moral) et d'échange (neutralité morale
). Une dimension morale est introduite dans le débat sur l'activité du secteur informel. Elle montre que certains systèmes de redistribution pourraient conduire à la naissance de formes de réciprocité négative.
