Abstract

Today, rural communities need to take a new approach to decision-making and administration with regards to the causes and solutions to the processes of land deterioration. If the damages caused by drought, flood, and erosion were valued in monetary terms, opportunity costs, and value of human life, we would readily realize the benefits of investment in rural production methods.
