The paper examined Land Management through agroforestry in the context of sustainable agriculture in Southeastern Nigeria. From 6 rural communities, 180 households were interviewed; and data analysed using descriptive statistics and ordinary least square regression model. Research findings show that Agro forestry played prominent, critical roles in Land Management. Farmers practiced home gardens, alley cropping, improved fallow, multipurpose trees and shrubs on cropland and contour boundary planting of trees. Gender, land ownership status, primary occupation and population pressure affected adoption of agroforestry land management. Findings indicate the need for interventions to support local farmers land management through Agro forestry.Keywords: land management, Agroforestry Southeastern NigeriaInternational Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development Vol. 6 2005: 81-91
