Global land degradation crisis threatens food security and ecosystem services.
Land degradation is a big problem worldwide, caused by natural, human, and climate factors. It harms the land we rely on for food and shelter. Deforestation, desertification, and erosion are some forms of land degradation. But we can prevent it by using sustainable land management practices. Research shows that land degradation has serious social, economic, and environmental costs. By identifying the main causes and using the right methods, we can assess and improve the health of our land.
