V Disseminating the information The Turkish research team from Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Turkey, used various communication formats to disseminate the results of the DESIRE project to three main stakeholder groups: the local and provincial authorities and policy makers, farmers and the general public. An example of communication to policy makers is the policy brief on the wooden fences technology. In this policy brief, stakeholders and the DESIRE project experts recommended state-funded subsidies for installing fences and the setup of training courses for the technology, as crucial preconditions for the adoption of the technology by farmers. See the DESIRE Harmonised Information System content for the Eskişehir study site dissemination products, including the policy brief on wooden fences, at http://www.desire-his.eu/en/eskiehir-turkey. The research team organised an exchange visit between farmers from the Eskişehir and Karapinar study sites, aiming at exchanging knowledge on ways to reduce water and wind erosion (a problem in the Karapinar site), and to save water. The workshop was supported by the Turkish Ministry of Forests and Water, which has a dedicated Directorate General to Combat Desertification. The team reported on the exchange visit in a leaflet, that was disseminated among land users, local and regional authorities, and through the DESIRE Harmonized Information System (www.desire-his. eu/en/eskiehir-turkey/599-exchange-visits-between-farmersfrom-turkish-study-sites).

In order to reach the general public, the research team published various articles in local and regional newspapers, and figured in TV Broadcasts. These can be visited at http:// tinyurl.com/88ba3zz (papers) and http://tinyurl.com/3y442hx (TV broadcasts).

Case study of the DESIRE methodology – Yan River Basin, China (This case study is structured according to the 5 steps of DESIRE approach as explained in chapter 1) I Establishing land degradation and SLM context and sustainability goals Socio-cultural, economic and environmental context The Yan River catchment is situated on the Chinese Loess Plateau and covers an area of 7680 km 2 . Degradation problems: mainly water erosion (severe), also wind erosion and vegetation degradation. Erosion and water shortage are the main limiting factors. Land use: arable farming, cash crops, grass, secondary forests and vegetables Geology and soils: mainly loess Climate: semi-arid with about 500 mm per year Existing conservation measures: mainly dams, terraces and tree planting Socio-economic situation: population density about 70 people/km 2 , income about 1600 Yuan (about 200 Euro) per person. Mostly small farmers with increasing amount of offfarm work. Institutional and political setting: importance of policies like ‘Grain for Green Project’, which aim to replace cropland on steep slopes with other land uses such as forest, grassland or orchards. Stakeholders, goals and drivers The main stakeholder groups include government/project staff, public administration, research centres and universities, schools and land users. Eight sustainability goals were defined, some examples are presented on the right. Examples of identified drivers, their impact and the response Protection of dryland farming areas 260 Location of the Yan River Basin. Sustainability goals Goal 1 Reduction of soil erosion and runoff losses; Goal 2 Improvement of the water use efficiency of precipitation; Goal 6 Improvement of local socio-economic condition; Goal 7 Reduction of sediment load of the Yellow River; Drivers Impact Responses Policies Easily eroded soil Soil erosion Revegetation, reforestation, terracing, reduction of local population Inappropriate land management (agriculture on steep slopes) Soil erosion and land fragmentation Prohibit planting slopes steeper than 25 degree and impose a fine on actions that provoke erosion Regulations on the Protection of Basic Farmland (1998-12-27), Regulations on Conversion of Farmland to Forests (2003-1-20) Flood Control of The People’s Republic of China (1998-1-1), Law of the People’s Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Desertification (2002-1-1) Climate change Water loss and shortage of soil water Terrace Law of The People’s Republic of China on Water and Soil Conservation (1991-6-29 issued, and 2010-12-25 revised) DESIRE – WOCAT Desire for Greener Land
