| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the impact of sustainable land resource management on household‟s income in Janamora woreda. `Sustainable Land Management`, a new move as an approach that will enable farmers to sustainably intensify their agricultural productivity and production by making use of the available land resources efficiently without compromising the benefits of the future generation. While there is a bulk of information regarding the adoption of SWC technologies little information is documented on the impact of the various long-term SWC measures implemented in the country. The study employed „with‟ and „without‟ approach by comparing farmers who practiced in sustainable land resource management in their own land and farmers who did not practice those activities. Both quantitative and qualitative data types were used for analysis. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the respondents of participants and non-participants for the survey. Data for the study was collected from randomly selected 322 farm households of whom 161 participants and 161 non-participants using semi-structured questionnaire. Secondary data were collected from different sources. Binary logit and Endogenous switching regressions model were employed to identify the determinant of sustainable land resource management participation and its impact on farmers‟ income respectively. The logit model result indicates that age of the household, marital status of the household, household‟s education status, total live stalk unit of the household, land size, distance of resident from land, membership of watershed user association are significant factors affect farmers‟ decision to practice sustainable land resource management. To capture the impact of sustainable land resource management on households‟ income, in Endogenous switching regressions model, the indicator was household total annual income in 2018. The result showed that participation in the sustainable land resource management had resulted in positive and significant impact on households‟ income which is ATT 31264 ETB, ATU 41520 ETB at 5 and 1 % significance level with a transitional heterogeneity of -10256 ETB. This shows how significance role of sustainable land resource management are in improving the income condition of poor farmers in the study area. It is recommended to participate farmers not participated in SLM activities and the SLM activities should be comprehensively and inclusively practiced in all farmers in the study area.
