2. Introduction
Land degradation is a major socioecological problem
worldwide that influences critical environmental issues such
as food security, reduced productivity, diminished quality of
fresh water resources, loss of biodiversity, and global
climate change.

3. Land Degradation Mean
• It is the temporary or permanent lowering of the productive
capacity of land. It thus covers the various forms of soil
degradation, adverse human impacts on water resources,
deforestation, and lowering of the productive capacity of
rangelands.

4. Types of land degradation
• Water erosion
• Wind erosion
• Soil fertility decline
• Salinization
• Waterlogging
• Lowering of the water

5. Causes of Land Degradation
• Deforestation
• Industrialization
• Shifting cultivation
• Poverty of the agriculture
• Forest fires and over grazing
• Mining
• Improper crop rotation
• Fertilisers and Pesticides
• Improper planning and management of irrigation systems

6. Impact of Land Degradation
• Pollution and clogging of waterways from land degradation
• Loss of arable land from soil depletion
• Drought and aridity
• Soil quality reduction
• Water and food insecurity
• Biodiversity loss
• Increased flooding risk from land degradation

7. Management to reduce land degradation
• Gardening
• Conservation Tillage
• Using Fertilizers
• Afforestation and Reforestation
• Constructing Wind Breakers and Responsible Industrial and Chemical Waste
Management
• Preventing salinisation
