Evaluating Land Management Options (ELMO) is a survey tool that explores the motivations behind local land users’ management decisions. It facilitates discussions on sustainable land management (SLM) alternatives and ranks their resource requirements, benefits, and drawbacks. In the context of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN), ELMO helps identify suitable actions and assess the socioeconomic setting. Its effectiveness depends on a trained and trusted interviewer, together with strong local knowledge and participation.
