What is land degraditation?

Land degradation is the process by which the quality and productivity of land deteriorate due to various factors, including deforestation, overgrazing, soil erosion, and urbanization. This phenomenon can lead to reduced agricultural output, loss of biodiversity, and increased desertification. It is often exacerbated by human activities and climate change, resulting in significant environmental and economic challenges. Addressing land degradation is crucial for sustainable land management and ecosystem health.
