Purpose
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.
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. USAID works 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.
