Soil protection and sustainable land management practices.

Natalia Devia

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. A sustainable land use system could be a cattle ranching production system that includes trees in order to increase carbon storage in that location and that has good access to markets so it can earn revenues from its economic activities. Sustainable soil and land management practices provide options to manage soil, water, and plants, and their interactions under a specific set of biophysical and socio-economic conditions.
