SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
On Solid Ground describes how the tools of science and technology can be used to find solutions to global land management problems. The key is "integrated land management", which draws on the knowledge derived from the physical and social sciences and blends it with the wisdom of local communities, indigenous peoples, women, and others whose survival strategies have been based on a close connection to their mother Earth. The strength of this approach lies in the way it brings together solutions to human, economic, and environmental problems.
