abstract = {The paper focuses on changes in property rights and policies regarding interactions between
agriculture and nature in the Czech Republic. In the first part the recent situation
is reviewed. The institutional and organisational features and their development during
the transition and recent years are illustrated by the case study on the White Carpathian
protected landscape area. The key issue in conservation in the White Carpathians (as in
the number of other marginal areas) is to maintain grassland management at large scale.
While environmental policy lacks measures for maintaining grassland management,
respective incentives were launched in the frame of agricultural policy, although they do
not sufficiently consider environmental concerns. There are two other problem areas
hampering efficient organisation of conservation: uncompleted land reform and little
involvement of local population in determining conservation priorities. In the second
part, the paper examines three policy options for enhancing sustainability of landscape
and biodiversity on farmland. The proposed policy options each reflect the identified
problems in the White Carpathian case study.},
