Efficiency of Agricultural Land Resources Protection Policy in the Czech Republic

Abstract

This contribution evaluates efficiency of land resources protection policy in term of institutional economy in the Czech Republic. It resumes results of investigation in form of standardised interviews that was aimed at evaluation of individual phases of the programme cycle, from the problem analysis through proposal of a solution instrument to the problem resolution and implementation and monitoring of measures. The chosen measures were Land Consolidation and Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions. The authors found that the soil erosion problem had been well identified and that it was generally perceived by the public as serious. However, many shortcomings were identified in the measure proposal, implementation as well as evaluation of the measure’s impacts. In consequence, these shortcomings reduce efficiency of the measure.
