Synopsis (short abstract) Recognizing the need to enact a systematic way of managing resources, communities, civil society, and government agencies alike have long-called for the passage of the National Land Use Act (NLUA). The NLUA seeks to institutionalize a holistic, rational, and comprehensive land use and physical planning mechanism, which will appropriately identify land use and allocation patterns in all parts of the country. Enacting a NLUA would also provide for an environment that would better foster food security.
