Sustainable Land Use and Management (SLUM)

Sustainable Land Use and Management (SLUM) involves planning and practicing how land is used in a way that balances current needs with the health of the environment for future generations. It aims to prevent land degradation, conserve resources like soil and water, and promote productive, healthy ecosystems. SLUM incorporates environmentally responsible farming, urban planning, and natural resource management, ensuring land remains fertile, biodiverse, and resilient over time. Overall, it seeks to optimize land’s benefits while minimizing negative impacts on nature and society.
