Description

Understanding of the intricate processes of poverty and land degradation is still extremely limited. Definition, in each process, is driven largely by the perceptions of those analysing the phenomena. Each group brings its own strong perceptions to bear. The lack of clear conceptualisation, the observed heterogeneity and the diverse perceptions of those attempting the exercise complicate attempts at measurement. Statistical problems in the available measurements of each phenomenon, arising, among other things, from lack of representativeness, reduce the confidence that can be attached to extrapolations. Evaluating cause and effect with confidence implies, ideally, being able to observe the processes at different points in time for a large number of well-defined and relatively homogeneous situations. Such comparable observations are generally not available. In most cases the lack of adequate data and the complexity of the relationships that need to be modelled seriously limits rigorous empirical verification. Since a fuller understanding of the complex interaction of the two processes naturally leads on from a more comprehensive understanding of the individual processes, it too suffers from all the problems impeding a deeper understanding of each.
