WOCAT’s Onsite and Offsite Benefits of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) project raises awareness and addresses the benefits of action and costs of inaction in areas where SLM practices are implemented (onsite), and the impacted areas downstream (offsite). Evidence-based case studies from Colombia, Haiti, India and Iceland in prompt further policy action, public support and investment in SLM interventions that improve livelihoods, ecosystem services and natural resource management.
Conventional and sustainable land management (SLM) practices are investigated in the Indian Himalayas, Colombia, Haiti and Iceland. The synthesis reports comprehensively identify, assess, and illustrate the onsite and offsite impacts in partner countries.
