    Entre 1959 y 2008, no se había contemplado en Cuba redistribuir tierras a gran escala a productores individuales. Desde 1990, varias políticas de redistribución del uso de la tierra se aplicaron con importantes impactos, pero las áreas involucradas no alcanzaron un tamaño significativo a nivel nacional. A partir de 2008,ocurre una innovación mayor en la política agraria, con la entrega de muchas tierras ociosas en usufructo a productores sin tierras o con poca tierra. Un cambio de esta naturaleza y magnitud amerita ser descrito y analizado.

    This presentation (in French) introduced the program of the training "Sustainable Land Management Options by Context: Approach and Geospatial tool to support Achieving Land Degradation Neutrality”, held in Zaghouan on 16-17 March 2017. This activity is under the output "User-friendly, interoperable online tool, containing country-specific, accessible knowledge base of standardized, geo-referenced SLM, to enable stakeholders to query SLM options in different context" of the GIZ funded project “Impact evaluation of SLM options to achieve land degradation neutrality”.

    Sustainable Land Management (SLM) are required to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN). SLM options are fitted to the social, economic and ecological contexts. The high contextual diversity of drylands in particular prevents the design and application of “uniform blanket” policies to promote SLM over large scales where significant impact is expected.

    The problem of rangeland degradation can be reversed through revegetation, for example through inclusion of various locally adapted native species in the reseeding. Reseeding is the process by which rangelands are rehabilitated and it has two purposes; to ‘repair’ the degenerated rangeland system, and to increase the forage available for grazing animals. It involves sowing seeds directly into their final growing position, and is applied on rangelands with an advanced degree of degradation, low plant density or poor productivity levels.

    Jordan’s rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of
    over-exploitation of the ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons and highly
    erratic rainfalls. In the recent decades, the once productive grazing lands transformed into sparsely
    vegetated and crusted desert grounds not capable of retaining the sporadic rainwater within the landscape
    - and consequentialsurface runoff inevitably acceleratessoil erosion and gullying. To counter-measure the
