Land degradation associated to mismanagement and utilization of natural resources is amongrnconcerning challenge in developing countries including Ethiopia. In response to the challenge,rnEthiopian government and its partners have been implementing different land managementrnpractices; however the role of the practice was not sufficiently researched. Therefore this paperrnassessed the role of sustainable land management (SLM) practices for reducing landrndegradation in Quarit wereda, Amhara region, Ethiopia. Mixed research design method wasrnemployed to collect quantitative data from randomly selected 150 HHs and qualitative data inrntwo purposefully selected rural kebeles, where descriptive statistics was used to analyze thernquantitative data. The analysis revealed that the most (75%) survey households have beenrnimplementing SLMP on croplands varying from on 93.6% barley cultivated farmlands to 32.7%rnon vegetable farms. The major SLM practices adopted by study community include stone bundrn(26%), soil bund (39%), strip cropping (75%) and contour farming (87%). Nevertheless, as thernstudy community largely depend on livestock production, the sector depend on crop residues andrnvery scarce and poorly managed communal grazing lands, which tells that the livestock has beenrncreating considerable effect on sustainable land management. The study community alsornacknowledged the significance of SLM practices as it to minimize land degradation by reducedrnsoil erosion (86.7%), increasing water holding capacity of soil (63%), improve soil fertilityrn(59%), increased agricultural productivity (55%), reducing land degradation (34%), floodingrn(24%) and land slide (22%). Most of the respondent households (94%) reported that nature ofrnlandform was key factor that influence their decision to implement SLM. From theses we canrnlearn that adoption of SLM practice have been improving over time, however more promotionrnand extension required until the entire farming community understood significance of thernpractices and implement it wherever required.
