Abstract

Environmental protection is assessed from the degree of the adoption of anti-erosive measures for the protection of natural capital on land. In examining a pronounced degradation of agricultural land, this article analyses the profitability of sustainable agricultural practices for smallholders of millet and sorghum. The analysis is based on a sample of 194 observations for which the actors show different degrees of sustainable agricultural practice adoption. Multinomial logit model and propensity score matching results show that the intensive adoption of water and soil conservation is most beneficial to farmers in the studied region. The results show that in terms of economic policies for the protection of land capital, it is more advantageous to promote the intensive adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Such a result is proven both economically and environmentally significant.
