The project will contribute to the achievement of the following goal of the SLEM Programme: “To promote sustainable land management and use of biodiversity as well as maintain the capacity of ecosystems to deliver goods and services while taking account of climate change.” The project will contribute to this goal along with the other projects being developed under the Sustainable Land and Ecosystem Management Programme.
The project objective is: To develop, demonstrate and upscale sustainable land management practices for the conservation of jhum (shifting cultivation) lands in Nagaland through an ecosystem approach.
The project objective will be achieved through the following outcomes:
- Outcome 1: The policy, regulatory and institutional environment supports the integration of sustainable land management practices on jhum lands;
- Outcome 2: Options for improving the sustainability of jhum agroforestry systems are developed and demonstrated in selected project sites (70 villages spread over the 3 districts of Mon, Mokokchung and Wokha in Nagaland);
- Outcome 3: Enhanced capacity to replicate the project’s policy reform and field-level experiences in other parts of Nagaland, as well as in other States of India, where shifting cultivation agroforestry systems are prevalent.
