and customary. Land It is a critical
foundation for many livelihoods due to its contribu- tion to agriculture and the national economy.
However, massive land use changes without req- uisite land management planning pose significant socioeconomic and environmental threats. Land degradation is highlighted as the greatest con- tributor to the annual cost of environmental deg- radation, largely manifested in soil nutrient loss through soil erosion.23
Scientific studies indicate
that Uganda loses about 11 percent of its Gross Na- tional Income per annum as a result of excessive soil erosion alone.24
