SamenvattingThis bulletin presents a number of new insights concerning suitable instruments for the promotion of sustainable land use in sub-Saharan Africa. The careful balancing of macroeconomic policy with regional investments is absolutely necessary to provide incentives for land use intensification. Targeting public investments to unlock marginal areas might generate unexpectedly high returns. In addition, increasing investments in rural education is important to reinforcing the position of migrants in the labour market. Finally, the development of insurance systems and markets for environmental services may provide new possibilities for promoting investments in sustainable land use. Another part of the solution is inverting the decline in chemical fertilizer use.
