The CSD recommended that a new approach to land resources conservation and development should be developed and disseminated at international level

Every year 19.5 million hectares of agricultural land is converted to settlements

Land and water resources as well as biodiversity may be threatened by the expansion of biofuel production

The purpose of land policy is to obtain objectives relating to the security and distribution of land rights, land use and land management

A land policy is basically the government’s perception of the direction related to land use planning of the land resources at national level over a fixed period of time

Arable cropping in drylands is being unlimited by climate change

The CSD had a special session to estimate progress towards sustainable development in 1979
