Land is the integrating component of alllivelihoods depending on farm, forest, rangeland, or water(rivers, lakes, coastal marine) habitats. Due to varyingpolitical, social, and economic factors, the heavy use ofnatural resources to supply a rapidly growing globalpopulation and economy has resulted in the unintendedmismanagement and degradation of land and ecosystems. Thisbook provides strategic focus to the implementation ofsustainable land management (SLM) components of the WorldBank's development strategies. Sustainable landmanagement is a knowledge-based procedure that integratesland, water, biodiversity, and environmental management tomeet rising food and fiber demands while sustaininglivelihoods and the environment. This book articulatespriorities for investment in sustainable land management andnatural resource management and identifies the policy,institutional, and incentive reform options that willaccelerate the adoption of productivity improvements andpro-poor growth with sustainable land management.
