“…Os sistemas irrigados localizados na Bacia Hidrográfica do São Francisco interferem não somente nas alterações do uso do solo, mas também no regime de vazões e na disponibilidade hídrica para os demais usos na bacia. Por outro lado, a própria agricultura irrigada sofre com a falta de solos ricos, ineficiência estratégica de gestão dos recursos hídricos, além de dificuldade na inclusão de pequenas propriedades na estrutura do sistema de irrigação (Siegmund-Schultze et al, 2018). Maneta et al (2009) quantificaram a demanda hídrica dos projetos de ampliação da área irrigada na Bacia Hidrográfica do São Francisco e avaliaram o efeito dessa expansão nas vazões do rio.…”

“…According to ANA [53], sugarcane and soybean crops were historically mostly rainfed. However, a higher water deficiency and expansion mostly to the Centre-West are leading to greater irrigation needs (currently 2 Mha, according to ANA, 37% in São Paulo state and 19% in the Centre-western state of Goiás) [11,[54][55][56][57]. Indeed, ANA projects that between 2017 and 2030, irrigated agricultural area will increase from 6.95 Mha to 10.1 Mha [53].…”

“…We applied the good governance framework in the frame of a comprehensive, collaborative project in Brazil [56,57]. The scientific project aimed at analyzing functions, challenges and opportunities for the more sustainable management of land and water resources in the São Francisco River Basin in the aftermath of establishing the large Itaparica Reservoir.…”

Land management needs to cope with persistent environmental and societal changes. This requires functional governance systems. The purpose of this research is to develop a good governance framework for the implementation of sustainable land management. Good governance theory is extensive, although its operationalization remains difficult. We derived a set of good governance attributes from the literature: (i) the functionality of the regulatory framework, (ii) the legitimacy and accountability of the actors, (iii) the fairness and transparency of the decision-making processes, and (iv) quality control and adaptiveness. These constitute a framework which, supported by guiding questions, facilitates the evaluation of governance attributes to assess sustainable land management practices. We applied the scheme to a case study in Northeast Brazil regarding sustainable land management where biological pest control is considered to be a biodiversity-related ecosystem service. Since its adoption often falls short of expectations, we scrutinized its governance system. First, experts answered our guiding questions, and second, we involved local stakeholders in the discussion of good governance attributes through the participatory approach of constellation analysis. Trust in agricultural consultants and issues of the practical application of pest control turned out to be crucial. The workshop participants requested a model farm to build more trust and experience. There was considerable demand for policy at the national planning level to formulate and monitor the content of the agricultural advisory program. Our conceptualized framework of good governance questions provides systematization for planning and steering the implementation of sustainable land management practices.
