Although land degradation is a serious global problem and widely recognised, its assessment methods in terms of reliability, precision, its economic and environmental consequences are poorly understood. Issues revolving around measurability of land degradation pose a severe challenge to contemporary scientific methods. This book presents stringent analyses of land management and conservation interventions on socioeconomic aspects at family level. The major issue was to isolate the impact of such interventions on small holder farmers in terms of family income, labour use and production possibilities. A with and without strategy approach was applied as a core research methodology. The emperical findings from this study indicate substantial improvement in living standards of families by adopting the tested strategies. The book highlights policy implications of the strategies in form of recommendations.
