Overview

Land resources comprise the land, soil, water and associated natural assets, together with their climate and biotic components, that underpin agriculture, forestry, grazing and other land uses. Their characterisation rests on systematic assessment and classification, including evaluation of land capability, soil quality and the suitability of a given area for particular uses, increasingly supported by geomatics, geographic information systems and remote sensing for mapping and for managing irrigation water. These resources are finite and vulnerable to degradation, a cluster of processes that diminish productive capacity: water and wind erosion, salinization and waterlogging, soil compaction, loss of organic matter and nutrient depletion, and the conversion or fragmentation of productive land. Such degradation is closely tied to climate change, which alters hydrological regimes and the frequency of drought and flood, and it bears directly on food security by eroding the base on which crop and foodgrain production depend. Sustainable land management seeks to reconcile current use with long-term conservation through soil-fertility monitoring and tools such as soil-health assessment, balanced nutrient and residue management, water-resource planning, and land-use practices that maintain or restore soil function. The aim is durable agricultural productivity and high-quality land development that safeguards ecosystem services for future generations.
