Sustainable Land Management (SLM)

Sustainable Land Management (SLM) refers to practices that effectively use land resources to achieve economic, social, and environmental objectives without compromising future generations' ability to do the same. It involves a balance between agriculture, forestry, and conservation to maintain healthy ecosystems and biodiversity. SLM aims to improve productivity while minimizing soil degradation, water scarcity, and pollution. This approach includes techniques such as crop rotation, agroforestry, and integrated pest management, ensuring that land remains productive and resilient over time, supporting livelihoods and protecting the environment.
