- Summary:
- Sustainable land management (SLM) is a knowledge-based procedure that integrates land, water, biodiversity, and environmental management (including input and output externalities), to meet rising food and fiber demands while sustaining ecosystem and environmental services (biodiversity habitats, carbon sequestration, flood control, and water quality) and livelihoods. Scientific advances in the quantification of SLM-based environmental services at field and watershed scales, underpin the growing market on payments for environmental services and incentives for SLM and the rehabilitation of degraded lands.
