Abstract
In addition to providing a setting for agricultural production, land is a prerequisite for better environmental management, including the hydrologic cycle’s functions of transmitting and purifying water, recycling nutrients, ameliorating, filtering pollutants, and serving as a source and sink for greenhouse gases. The use of land to accommodate shifting human requirements (agricultural, forestry, conservation) while maintaining the future socioeconomic and ecological consequences of the land is known as sustainable land management. Sustainable agricultural development requires sustainable land management as a fundamental building block. In this chapter, the effects of increasing population, industrialization, and climate change on agricultural land use are discussed. Moreover, techniques to enhance the land-use efficiency under reducing agricultural land resources have been discussed. This chapter will increase the understanding of agricultural land-use systems and its efficient management for sustainable agriculture under climate change scenario.
