The FAO Technical Papers are available through the authorized FAO Sales Agents or directly from Sales and Marketing Group, FAO, Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00100 Rome, Italy.

In response to the widespread concern that land quality for agriculture to gradually deteriorating and that only sporadic data are available either on the status of land quality or to assist farmers and policy-makers in improving their management strategies, this publication suggests opportunities to make better use of natural resource information for sustainable agriculture. Land quality indicators (LQIs) provide a way to monitor and respond to changes in agro-ecosystems. The kinds of environmental, social and economic indicators needed are different at the farm, village, district and national levels, and generic indicators have limited utility at the local level. The report also addresses the management and interpretation of data and information to develop indicators, the testing and application of LQIs in countries and future work needed in this field. The LQI initiative is a collaborative effort between FAO, the World Bank, the united Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
