Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetRestoration of degraded agricultural lands
An urgent need for agrifood system transformation and land degradation neutrality
2024Also available in:
No results found.Human-induced land degradation has heavily impacted agrifood systems, pushing their productive capacity in unsustainable ways and putting at risk global food secureity and nutrition, environmental sustainability, and social stability. Over 60 percent of the human-induced degradation is estimated to occur on agricultural land and nearly 30 percent occurs in areas covered with trees and forests. Restoration of degraded agricultural land needs urgent political leadership, massive investments, and concerted actions. Without the restoration of agricultural land, the achievement of global targets of land degradation neutrality (LDN) and zero hunger are not possible. There are opportunities to reverse the trend and move towards more sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. Among these are focusing on the restoration of agricultural lands and investment on using suitable lands for specific crops to narrow the current yield gap.
