Understanding the Challenges
Sustainable land management is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems, ensuring food security, and mitigating land degradation. However, widespread adoption of these practices faces significant hurdles.
A project was conducted with the support of the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) and the Economics of Land Degradation (ELD) Initiative to investigate the challenges faced in adopting and implementing sustainable land management practices across different countries.
This project in Myanmar delves into these constraints, offering valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders working towards sustainable land management.
