Sustainable Land Management is defined by WOCAT10 as follows;

It is the adoption of land use systems in which the ecological functions of land resources are protected and / or increased with appropriate administrative approaches and offer the highest level of economic and social benefits to land users. The basic approach is a management approach that takes soil, water, vegetation and animal resources into consideration.

Sustainable Land Management practices are practices that maximize vegetation cover, minimize land degradation, provide biological activity and plant nutrient management, include integrated crop production / animal production / forestry systems, and protect traditional pastoral systems. A good practice with a Sustainable Land Management approach; It ensures improvement of soil organic matter, water conservation or water harvest, continuity of nutrient cycle, land management with advanced technologies in crop / animal production, control of diseases / pests.  By drawing attention to the increasing population since the 16th century, the scarcity of land to meet the needs of this population has been emphasized. Efficient use and protection of scarce land stock has become an important economic and environmental policy goal.  As the population increases, the demand for food and shelter will increase, and people will need new lands. Under these conditions, on the one hand, important environmental values ​​will be destroyed, on the other hand, the desertification process will increase in undesirable levels. Sustainable use of land is only possible with the existence of an effective land management system. Land policies are required for effective land management. The principles of land policies, which have complex socio-economic and legal regulations that determine how the benefits to be obtained from land that will be allocated are laid out by public authorities, strategies and action plans are developed regarding the optimum use of the land.

Göymen Essential Oils states that we are committed to ensuring the sustainability of the land and plants on which we collect our botanicals and that we follow our social compliance policy stated above.
