Abstract:
We address farming system analysis at the level of collective action by the question what is the contribution of an ecological main structures (EMS) and crop rotation to pest control? It will be analysed how a political economy approach of land use, including nature elements, can improve the rural situation. Our hypothesis is that, as a measure of crop protection, an EMS can help to reduce costs in pest control. We show mathematically that joint efforts in a community of farmers can result in building up an adequate size of nature elements in landscapes (an EMS) for maintaining bio‐diversity.
