Unlocking the sustainable potential of land resources
This report provides an introduction to land evaluation systems, strategies and tools necessary
for “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.” The text focuses strongly on how to better match land use
with its sustainable potential, in order to reduce the amount of land required to meet human needs,
minimize land degradation, and cost-effectively restore already degraded lands. The report provides
information that private landowners can use to increase long-term productivity and profitability, while
at the same time addressing global objectives defined through land-related Sustainable Development
Goals, and particularly 15.3 (land degradation neutrality).
