Land degradation

The process by which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land. It can result in the loss of arable land, reduced agricultural productivity, and the destruction of natural habitats, driven by factors such as overgrazing, deforestation, agricultural activities, and climate change. Efforts to combat this issue include sustainable land management practices, reforestation, and policies aimed at reducing the impact of human activities on the land.
