Land provides an environment for agricultural production, but it also is an essential condition for improved environmental management, including source/sink functions for greenhouse gasses, recycling of nutrients, amelioration and filtering of pollutants, and transmission and purification of water as part of the hydrologic cycle. The objective of sustainable land management (SLM)1 is to harmonise the complimentary goals of providing environmental, economic, and social opportunities for the benefit of present and future generations, while maintaining and enhancing the quality of the land (soil, water and air) resource (Smyth and Dumanski, 1993). Sustainable land management is the use of land to meet changing human needs (agriculture, forestry, conservation), while ensuring long-term socioeconomic and ecological functions of the land.
Sustainable land management is a necessary building block for sustainable agricultural development, and it is a key element in AGENDA 21's goal of sustainable development (Chapter 10). Sustainable agricultural development, conservation of natural resources, and promoting sustainable land management are key objectives of the new World Bank rural investment program, From Vision to Action(World Bank, 1997), and increasingly these objectives are being included in all agricultural development and natural resources management projects.
Sustainable land management combines technologies, policies, and activities aimed at integrating socioeconomic principles with environmental concerns, so as to simultaneously:
maintain and enhance production (productivity)
reduce the level of production risk, and enhance soil capacity to buffer against degradation processes (stability/resilience)
protect the potential of natural resources and prevent degradation of soil and water quality (protection)
be economically viable (viability)
be socially acceptable, and assure access to the benefits from improved land management (acceptability/equity)
