Summary, etc. This paper presented the state of land degradation in the country and its causes and consequences. It was observed that the current efforts to restore and rehabilitate degraded land is a result of many years of inaction to address this problem. Inaction is due to lack of awareness among policy and decision makers to address the problem, lack of technical data to measure the degree of the seriousness of the problem, and consequently the level of intervention required; and the absence of funding support to correct this problem. The Philippines accession to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in 2000 has brought the awareness on the issue of desertification, land degradation and drought (DLDD). Actions to mitigate and control the impacts of land degradation are water centered as anchored in the National Action Plan (NAP) of the UNCCD. This paper recognized three different measures to address land degradation to wit: rehabilitation; mitigation and preventive measures as appropriate depending on the degree of land degradation. The Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) has identified and mapped these areas according to state of land degradation and categorized as vulnerable, hotspots and bright spot where these measures may apply. This policy paper proposed for the adoption of preventive measures as a sustainable approach to address land degradation and improve land productivity. In particular, land degradation due to soil fertility decline in the lowlands and top soil and nutrient loss in the uplands, are the target areas. There are three complementary options and/or recommendations as follows: 1. Innovative approaches to sustain soil health monitoring 2. Institutionalize sustainable land management (SLM) in local government 3.Enhanced collaboration among government line agencies Soil erosion is a problem common in the upland ecosystem and soil fertility decline are observed in the prime agricultural lowlands. The cost due to inaction compared with specific measures or action to address soil erosion, soil fertility decline and soil salanity were discussed. In almost all access, the cost due to inaction is more costly compared with application of preventive or control measures. The cost to the environment and its long term sustainability of providing productive ecosystem services is valued. In contrast the socio economic benefits of soil conservation to address soil erosion are not immediately observed while soil fertility enhancement provides immediate results as it directly affects crop productivity and farmers income. Much of the efforts by the government as reflected by the existing laws and policies, senate and house bills to address land degradation are water centered and therefore were focused on the control measures to address soil erosion. This paper focused on land degradation in the form of soil fertility decline which can be addressed through preventive measures.
