Question

What is land mangement ?

Answer 1

Ummm...managing the land?  Meaning the overseeing of the crops/trees/etc. that are on the land for either economic or aesthetic purposes.

Answer 2

As the world population grows, its escalating resource needs place ever-increasing pressure on land. This creates conflicts among competing user groups, and often results in adverse impacts both to the land and to its living and non-living resources. Land degradation due to desertification, soil erosion and deforestation is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, leading to loss of productivity, increased poverty, and conflict. While natural disasters can contribute to this degradation, human exploitation of natural resources is by far the leading contributor.

To successfully meet human needs, competing demands for the use of the land’s resources must be resolved, and more effective and efficient ways of using these resources must be adopted. People must work to alleviate poverty and minimize land use conflicts by improving agricultural productivity, reclaiming degraded lands, protecting the environment, conserving soil and water quality, and enhancing community capabilities to manage natural resources.
