AB  - Tropical savannas are mainly used for grazing, mining, conservation or Indigenous activities. Over
the past years, grazing has proven to be economically inefficient and has led to depletion of natural resources.
This study attempts to develop a framework for multiple uses of land resources in savannas. For this, alternative
land uses of savannas, other than grazing are identified and an outline of economic framework to estimate the
total benefits from various land uses is presented. This study addresses the importance of synergies among
various land uses at a landscape level. Economic viability of each land use is proposed to be verified to develop
sustainable multiple land use systems that could deliver the maximum benefits to the society. Externalities, both
positive and negative are considered in total estimation of benefits at a landscape scale. The positive effect of
one land use on another can help to enhance the landscape value and to optimize the use of various natural
resources for sustainable production gains.
