I consider no less N I Ejub Trako, Sabina Hodžić, Mehmed Cero, Marija Proleta, Amina Salihagić important the fact that this work can usefully serve any graduate engineer and young scienst, as a valuable source of informaon on land protecon.

In addion to the original approach to general topics of sustainable development and especially HERZ sustainable land management, an undoubted originality to this work is given by the BOSNIA AND ENT meculous depicons of concrete technologies for sustainable land management which the authors now present to the public aer a detailed and demanding field research. AND HERZEGOVINA The proposed work for publicaon, in its concept and primary purpose, falls into the GEM category of a scienfic book which offers elaborated modern scienfic achievements in the field of sustainable land management, but also a number of topics directly related to ANA BOSNIA understanding and applying the concepts of sustainable development in general, and especially sustainable development of agriculture and food producon. This publicaon can be of extreme benefit to a wide range of readers – from students of praccally all so-called life science studies, through agronomic and agricultural experts in producon, to persons responsible at all levels of management and decision-making in relaon to preservaon or improvement of the state of all, and especially agricultural BLE LAND M and forest lands. As already menoned, the books has an undoubted potenal to be recommended as supplementary literature for a number of university subjects dealing with land, and especially with sustainable land management and rural areas.
