This sourcebook is divided into three parts: the first part identifies the need and scope for sustainable land management (SLM) and food production in relation to cross-sector issues such as freshwater and forest resources, regional climate and air quality, and interactions with existing and emerging infectious diseases. It introduces the concept of production landscapes and analysis of trade-offs and establishes a framework for linking indicators that provide a measure of the outcomes of SLM. It then categorizes the diversity of land management (that is, farming) systems globally and the strategies for improving household livelihoods in each type of system. For the farming system types, a set of SLM principles and common but important issues for future investments are identified. The second part of the sourcebook focuses on three major farming system types and presents a range of investment notes and innovative activity profiles. The third part provides users of the source book with easy-to access, web-based resources relevant for land and natural resource managers. The resources are available in the public domain, and readers can access the web sites of various international and national agencies.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONADVERSE EFFECTSAGRICULTURAL COMMODITYAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONAGRICULTURAL INTENSIFICATIONAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL LAND USEAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL SCIENCESAGRICULTURAL SYSTEMSAGRICULTURAL TRADEAGRICULTURAL ZONESAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE RESEARCHAGROBIODIVERSITYAGROFORESTRYAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYAQUACULTUREAQUIFERSARABLE LANDBARLEYBEANBEANSBENEFIT ANALYSISBIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENTBIOLOGICAL ACTIVITYBIOLOGICAL NITROGEN FIXATIONBIOLOGYBIOMASSBIOSPHEREBREEDINGCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARBON EMISSIONSCASE-BY-CASE BASISCASH CROPSCGIARCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICSCHEMICAL FERTILIZERSCIATCLASSIFICATIONCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOASTAL WATERSCOASTAL ZONESCOMMERCIAL HORTICULTURECOMMODITY PRICESCOMPOSTCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION GROUPSCONSTRUCTIONCONTINGENT VALUATIONCROPCROP PRODUCTIONCROP YIELDSCROPLANDCROPPINGCROPPING SYSTEMSCROPSDAMSDECISION MAKINGDEFORESTATIONDESERTIFICATIONDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDISCHARGEDRYLAND AGRICULTUREDRYLANDSECOLOGICAL BENEFITSECOLOGYECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INCENTIVESECONOMICSECONOMIES OF SCALEECONOMISTSECOSYSTEMSENTITLEMENTSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEQUILIBRIUMEROSIONEXTERNALITIESFAOFARM SYSTEMSFARMERSFARMINGFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFEEDFISHFISHERIESFISHINGFLOODPLAINSFLOODSFOOD PRICESFOOD PRODUCTIONFORESTFORESTRYFORESTSFRESHWATERFRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMSFRUITGRASSLANDSGROUNDWATERHABITATSHIGHLANDSHORTICULTURAL CROPSHOUSINGHUMAN ACTIVITIESHUMAN WELL-BEINGHYDROLOGIC CYCLEHYDROLOGYICARDAICRAFICRISATIITAILRIIMPERVIOUS SURFACEIMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREAIMPORTSINCOMEINDIGENOUS PEOPLESINPUT USEINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH IN THE DRY AREASINTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL AGRICULTUREINTERNATIONAL LIVESTOCK RESEARCH INSTITUTEINVASIVE SPECIESINVENTORIESIRRIGATIONLAND AREALAND COVERLAND DEGRADATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND RECLAMATIONLAND RESOURCESLAND USELIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK RESEARCHLIVESTOCK SYSTEMSMANAGED FORESTSMITIGATIONMOUNTAINSMULCHNATIVE SPECIESNATURAL CAPITALNATURAL RESOURCE BASENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGERSNATURAL RESOURCESNITROGENNUTRIENT CYCLINGNUTRIENT FLOWSNUTRIENT MANAGEMENTOILOIL PRICESOILSEEDSORCHARDSOVERGRAZINGOXYGEN DEPLETIONPARKSPASTURESPHOSPHORUSPLAINSPLANT BIODIVERSITYPLANT SPECIESPLANTATIONPLANTATIONSPLOTSPOLICY DECISIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTANTSPOPULATION PRESSURESPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRECIPITATIONPRODUCTION PATTERNSPRODUCTIVITYPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPURCHASING POWERRAINFALLRANGESRECYCLINGREGIONAL CLIMATERESERVOIRRESERVOIRSRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRICERISK MANAGEMENTRIVERROCKEFELLER FOUNDATIONROOTING ZONERUNOFFRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTSAVINGSSEDIMENTSEDIMENT LOADSHRUBSSOIL DEGRADATIONSOIL MANAGEMENTSOILSSPATIAL SCALESPECIESSPECIES COMPOSITIONSPECIES DIVERSITYSTREAMSSURFACE RUNOFFSURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURESUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTTHE CONSULTATIVE GROUPTIMBERTRANSACTION COSTSTREE SPECIESUPLAND AREASUPLANDSUSAIDVEGETATIONVEGETATIVE COVERWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATERSHEDWATERSHEDSWATERWAYSWETLANDWILDLIFEWILDLIFE HABITATWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7432-0
