Cropland (or grazing land, mixed land, <strong>for</strong>est land) per household*<br />

Table (size of land per household in hectares): ranked (very important/<br />

most common): (important): (less important); dependent on what<br />

<strong>for</strong>m of land use where the SWC is implemented: whether<br />

QT 2.8.8 (cropland); 2.8.9 (grazing land); 2.8.10 (<strong>for</strong>est/ woodland)<br />

*Note: title of this box will change depending on land use<br />

Human Environment<br />

Cropland per household<br />

(ha)<br />

10,000<br />

<strong>Land</strong> user: Individual and common small scale<br />

land users, mainly men<br />

Population density: 10-50 persons/km 2<br />

Annual population growth: < 0.5%<br />

<strong>Land</strong> ownership: individual, titled<br />

<strong>Land</strong> use rights: individual (all cropland is<br />

privately owned)<br />

Water use rights: individual. Water use is<br />

organised by permits to water extraction from<br />

aquifers on an individual basis. Water rights are<br />

provided and controlled by the water authority of<br />

the Segura river basin.<br />

Relative level of wealth: average, which<br />

represents 80% of land users; 75% of the total<br />

land area is owned by average land users<br />

Importance of off-farm income: > 50% of all income:<br />

There is no difference in the ones who apply the<br />

10–50% / >50% of all income<br />

technology and those who do not. Most farmers do<br />

have an off-farm income <strong>for</strong> example from hunting,<br />

work in a factory or office.<br />

Access to that service income and infrastructure: moderate:<br />

employment, energy; high: education, technical<br />

assistance, market, roads & transport, drinking water<br />

and sanitation, financial services<br />

Market orientation: QT 2.8.10.1/QT commercial 2.8.11.1 / market<br />

Mechanization: mechanised<br />

Livestock grazing on cropland: yes<br />

Technical drawing:<br />

Top: Photo of the disc-plough used <strong>for</strong> superficial ploughing (~20cm depth) where there is a large amount of crop residue and/or<br />

perennial vegetation. Bottom: Chisel-plough (Photos: Joris de Vente)<br />

Here a technical drawing of the technology (if available): originally from<br />

QT 2.4.1, but usually redrawn <strong>for</strong> consistency<br />

Establishment activities<br />

The establishment activities <strong>for</strong> the SLM measures (whether<br />

agronomic, vegetative, structural and/ or management) are<br />

described here in sequence: 1. / 2./ 3./ 4.; etc. In<strong>for</strong>mation is added<br />

on source of energy, equipment used, timing of operations etc.<br />

Taken from the questions: QT 2.5.1.2; QT 2.5.2.2; QT 2.5.3.2; QT<br />

2.5.4.2. The duration of the establishment phase is given (usually<br />

either within one year – or a number of years)<br />

<strong>Land</strong> user: from QT 2.8.1<br />

Population density: from QT 2.8.2<br />

Annual population grow: from QT 2.8.3<br />

<strong>Land</strong> ownership: state / company / communal/village /<br />

group / individual – not titled / individual – titled; QT 2.8.4<br />

<strong>Land</strong>-/water use rights: open access (unorganised) / communal<br />

(organised) / leased / individual; QT 2.8.4<br />

Relative level of wealth: from QT 2.8.5<br />

Importance of off-farm income: from QT 2.8.6:
