In the context of desertification could be consider “good”, those operational practices , experiences, field activities, experimental studies or projects oriented to enhance land sustainable management mainly in three main sectors, for example:
 Agriculture (choice agricultural land, soil management, crops rotation, crops management, ecc);
 Forest (minimize environmental damage to the site, protect forest components including species diversity, encourage sustainable forest management, should be consistent with longterm forest management planning, ecc.);
 Water (Ferti-irrigation, optimisation of available water - water stress control -, ecc.)

Database creation is a tool to share and reveal sustainable experiences, just realized or in course, financed by national and/or European Commission projects to combat desertification.

The “good practices” are examples of positive field activities characterized by some main requirements:
 Measurable (possibility to quantify the results of the work/action/project through indicators)
 Innovability (capability to produce new or forefront solutions)
 Sustainability (protection and/or restoration of ecosystem through the improvement of environmental management)
 Riproducibility (possibility to transfer or apply the experience in different area and/or situation)

Inside the database each user, upon registration, could insert own project filling at least the obligatory fields.
