Land degradation threatens soil productivity, biodiversity, and environmental health worldwide.
Land degradation is a big problem that harms soil, plants, animals, and water quality. In India, a large area of land is degraded by erosion, salinity, and acidity. This damages soil properties and reduces productivity. Nutrient loss, lower organic matter, and fewer soil animals all contribute to this issue. Soil erosion leads to lower crop yields and poor soil quality in the long run. Land degradation also causes pollution by washing away chemicals and depositing sediments. Overall, land degradation hurts soil health and productivity, affecting agriculture and the environment.
