最佳实践的简短描述
The Sustainable Land Management Programme for Livelihood Development in Lebanon will assist the Lebanese Government in identifying the specific problems and obstacles encountered in the long-term process of reducing land degradation and achieving sustainable land management. The programme will focus on integrated rural livelihood development by integrating sustainable natural resource management with better alternatives in agricultural production and enhancing proper market linkages. The programme will explore industrial hemp, which does not require pesticide applications, as an alternative to the high THC cannabis plant in the Bekaa for improving the livelihood of rural communities and reducing land degradation.

根据哪些标准和/或指标（与战略无关），在确定建议的实践和相应的技术是否被认为是“最佳”时，应该基于哪些标准和/或指标（与战略无关）？
The war situation, which prevailed in Lebanon for decades, has negatively affected the livelihood of local communities mainly in remote rural areas. Environmental degradation causes additional socio-economic burden on the livelihood of rural communities. The illicit production of cannabis and poppys has severely affected the social structure in the region. The project is proposing the replacement of cannabis plantations, by indistrial hemp which is very adapted to the local condidtions. The income generated by this industrial crop may somehow compensate for the loss occured after the cannabis cultivation was banned.|
