Issues / Land Degradation & Tenure

Land Degradation & Tenure

One third of the world’s soils - including farmland, forests, rangelands, and urban land - are already degraded and it is estimated that this number could rise to almost 90% by 2050. Land Degradation occurs naturally, but research shows that land degradation is increasingly caused directly or indirectly by unsustainable human activities, notably deforestation, overgrazing, mining or intensive agriculture. This has driven biodiversity loss, desertification, and led to a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

L’actualité de cet automne s’annonce exceptionnellement chargée sur les questions environnementales : les trois COP issues du Sommet de la Terre vont se réunir à quelques semaines d’intervalle, en commençant par la COP Biodiversité. L’agriculture étant dépendante des écosystèmes dans lesquels elle prend place, il semble logique de veiller à préserver leur équilibre et en particulier à protéger cette biodiversité.
