Due to varying political, social, and economic factors, the heavy use of natural resources to supply a rapidly growing global population and economy has resulted in the unintended mismanagement and degradation of land and ecosystems. This book provides strategic focus to the implementation of sustainable land management (SLM) components of the World Bank's development strategies. Sustainable land management is a knowledge-based procedure that integrates land, water, biodiversity, and environmental management to meet rising food and fiber demands while sustaining livelihoods and the environment. This book articulates priorities for investment in sustainable land management and natural resource management and identifies the policy, institutional, and incentive reform options that will accelerate the adoption of productivity improvements and pro-poor growth with sustainable land management.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL INTENSIFICATIONAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LANDSAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTUREAQUACULTUREAQUIFERSBIODIVERSITYBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYCARBONCARBON EMISSIONSCATCHMENTCENTRAL AMERICACLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMON LANDCOMMON LANDSCOMMON PROPERTYCOMMON PROPERTY RESOURCECOMMONSCOMPENSATIONCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSESCROPSCULTIVATED LANDCULTIVATIONDEFORESTATIONDEGRADED LANDDEGRADED LANDSDEMAND FOR FOODDROUGHTDRYLANDSECOLOGICAL INTEGRITYECONOMIC CONSEQUENCESECOSYSTEMEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONEMPIRICAL BASISENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTSEQUILIBRIAEROSIONEROSION CONTROLEXPENDITURESEXTENSIONEXTERNALITIESFARMERSFARMSFINANCIAL SUBSIDIESFISHERIESFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTIONFORESTFOREST AREASFOREST COVERFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST ECOSYSTEMSFOREST RESERVESFORESTRYFORESTRY RESEARCHFORESTSFUELGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGREENHOUSE GASESGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER RECHARGEILLEGAL DEFORESTATIONIMPORTSINCOMEINCOMESINDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGEINSURANCEINTEGRATIONIRRIGATIONLAND DEGRADATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND POLICYLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND RESOURCESLAND TENURELAND USELAND USE PRACTICESLAND USE SYSTEMSLAND USERSLAND USESLIVESTOCKLOGGINGMANURESNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SYSTEMSNATURAL FORESTSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE DEGRADATIONNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENTNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSOILOPPORTUNITY COSTSOVERGRAZINGPASTUREPESTSPLANT DISEASESPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPOPULATION DENSITIESPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSRANGELANDSRECYCLINGREFORESTATIONRESOURCE USERESOURCES MANAGEMENTRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL LIVELIHOODSSCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGESCIENTISTSSECONDARY FORESTSSOCIAL COSTSSOILSOIL CONSERVATIONSOIL CONSERVATION PRACTICESSOIL DEGRADATIONSOIL EROSIONSOIL FERTILITYSOIL PRODUCTIVITYSOILSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTAXATIONTIMBERTRADEOFFSTREESURBANWASTE DISPOSALWATER RESOURCESWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWETLANDSWILDLIFEWOODWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/978-0-8213-6597-7
