Deep Dive: Sustainable Land Management

Sustainable land management focuses on using land resources in a way that balances environmental health, economic viability and social needs over the long term.

Deep dive: Sustainable land management

Land is at the heart of food systems — but also under increasing pressure. Sustainable Land Management (SLM) offers a pathway to restore soils, protect ecosystems, and improve livelihoods. But what does SLM look like in practice, and how can we as a network share and scale what works?

Ahead of UNCCD COP17, this first deep dive will explore how SLM is being applied across contexts, and how innovation within our network can contribute to more resilient landscapes and food systems.

Invitations will be shared ahead of the sessions, members can stay up-to-date via our AFS Teams channel.

Should you wish to submit your innovation on SLM, please respond via the dedicated form by July 24th.

The format will consist of two complementary webinars:
