    The concern for the well-being of land is often directly related to one’s proximity to the land, be it physically, economically or culturally. Land is more precious if one’s livelihood depend on it immediately than if one is merely a visitor. Land is valued differently if it is the base of one’s power or wealth than if one’s community is in need of its integrity and depends on the ecosystem services (ESS) that it provides. To some extent, this may explain the great challenge UNCCD has experienced in mustering international support for its mandate.

    This report provides a brief summary of the discussions in and key findings of the Global Land
    Outlook Writeshop that took place 11th - 13th of April 2016 in Amman, Jordan. The writeshop was
    organized the CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Systems, in collaboration with the United
    Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and ICARDA.
    The purpose of the writeshop was to bring working authors together to discuss and share
    knowledge and lessons learned on successful examples of sustainable land management best

    Jordan’s rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of
    over-exploitation of the ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons and highly
    erratic rainfalls. In the recent decades, the once productive grazing lands transformed into sparsely
    vegetated and crusted desert grounds not capable of retaining the sporadic rainwater within the landscape
    - and consequentialsurface runoff inevitably acceleratessoil erosion and gullying. To counter-measure the

    The aim of this paper is to contribute to a more holistic understanding of farmers’ decision making process for innovations in soil conservation. In this study, farmers’ decision making has been explored in the context of a mountainous olive growing area in northwest Syria, where evidences of land degradation are widespread.

    This volume contains the presentations made at the Eighth International Conference on Dryland
    Development. It is hoped that it will serve as a repository of information on the problems and prospects of
    sustainable management of dry areas and preventing desertification, and will thus be of interest to those
    involved in research, extension, development and policy formulation for the benefit of the people of the dry areas. It is our belief it would serve as an important contribution to the objectives of the IYDD.

    Land is front and center of the sustainable
    development and climate change debates. A
    goal dedicated to Land Degradation Neutrality
    (LDN) (see Box 1) was endorsed in 2015 by the
    United Nations (UN) General Assembly as part
    of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
    2015–2030 framework, following on from the
    UN’s Millennium Development Goals of 2000
    (UN General Assembly, 2015). SDG 15 aims to
    “protect, restore and promote sustainable use
    of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage

    With around one third of the world’s arable land degraded, estimated annual losses of 6.3 to 10.6 USD trillion, and a projected need to increase food production from land by 70 per cent by 2050, we simply cannot afford to neglect the loss of potential production from careless land management. Whenever land is not producing at its potential,it is an under-performing asset that requires investments to ensure the future supply chains that many industries depend upon.

    Rangelands are recognized for their importance and value in providing society with valuable products and ecosystem services. In such ecosystems, effective management is needed for sustainable plant growth and survival in a context characterized by rainfall unreliability, poor soil nutrient status and high uncontrolled grazing. Therefore, cost-effective techniques/tools for slowing down and eventually reversing this degradation are needed. This paper promotes identifying and combining various tools for degraded arid ecosystems as strategies aimed for rangeland restoration/ rehabilitation.

    The objective of this research was to assess the multiple effects of land-use change in a high populated steepland environment on land degradation processes and farmers' coping strategies. A case study was conducted at Pakha Sukcay village (located in Thailand's northern most Chiang Rai province). Erosion processes were monitored during a period of 3 years, and informal interviews were conducted to elucidate farmers' opinions.

    Sustainable Land Management (SLM) are required to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN). SLM options are fitted to the social, economic and ecological contexts. The high contextual diversity of drylands in particular prevents the design and application of “uniform blanket” policies to promote SLM over large scales where significant impact is expected.
