By 2050, if current consumption and
production patterns remain the same and with
a rising population expected to reach
9.6 billion, we will need
THREE PLANETS to sustain our ways of living
and consumption.

Striving for Sustainable Development:
7. 1.0 Origin of Sustainable Development
› We have been singing this song of "Sustainable
development" with unison voice as I “buy” the
real understanding of it from the World
Commission on Environment and Development
(Brundtland Commission) report published in
1987 that:
"development which meets the needs of current
generations without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs".

11. 3.0 Land use sustainability (LUS) evaluation
“Sustainable land use” should simultaneously ensure:
-Productivity: maintaining and enhancing production
services;
-Stability-Resilience: reducing the level of production risk
(security) and enhancing the soil capacity to buffer the
degradation processes;
-Protection: protecting the potential of natural resources and
preventing the soil and water quality degradation;
-Viability: economic viability;
-Acceptability-Equity: ensuring “social acceptability” and the
access to the benefits from improved land management.

› Sustainable land management can be
achieved by integrating local, national and
international efforts.
› Efforts towards better land use planning and
land reforms are very important.
› Enhancing growth of natural vegetation in
order to reduce conflicts between
pastoralists and farmers.

decisions may seem
small in the face of
global threats and
trends, when billions
of people join forces
in common purpose,
we can make a
tremendous
difference.”
