This STAP Technical Paper demonstrates that sustainable land management has the potential to contribute to both food security and multiple global environmental outcomes. Through this paper, we present an approach for soil organic carbon management as a foundational basis for the delivery of global environmental benefits, an objective held in common by the Conventions supported by the GEF. This includes the protection of biodiversity (above and below-ground), resilience of ecosystems, climate change mitigation, sustainable land management, and protecting the environment from persistent organic pollutants.
