Land & Resources Management

Land and resources management refers to the management of the land and resources such as water, soil, plants and animals, with a particular focus on how management affects the quality of life for both present and future generations. Land and resources management is congruent with the concept of sustainable development, a scientific principle that forms a basis for sustainable global land management and environmental governance to conserve and preserve natural resources.

Land and resources management specifically focuses on a scientific and technical understanding of resources and the life-supporting capacity of those resources.
