SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT: INTERNATIONAL APPROACHES AND RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE

The basic modern approaches of sustainable land management at the international level are considered. The relevance of the rational land and land resources use in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is shown. Basic definitions of the concept of "sustainable land management " and the main categories of SLM are given. On the example of SLM "no-till" technology in the Samara region it is shown that the use of methods of minimal soil cultivation allows to reduce the level of wind and water erosion, and also contributes to soil decompaction. In general, the "no-till" technology is aimed at preventing and reducing land degradation, adapting to climate change and the consequences of extreme climate and weather events.
