Key Points: Sustainable Land Use

  • Sustainable land management includes practices that protect humans, animals and the environment and allow for future use of the land.
  • The use of non-renewable resources in large quantities contributes to the loss of sustainable land.
  • Often, small changes can be made to increase sustainability in most industries.
  • Costs and benefits must be weighed to inform policies on land management and use.
