Land degradation affects 1.7 billion people, reducing crop yields; reversing 10% could feed 154 million more.
A new FAO report reveals that 1.7 billion people globally face reduced crop yields due to land degradation, driven by human activities like deforestation and unsustainable farming.
The report finds degradation lowers productivity by up to 10% in affected areas and shows that reversing just 10% of degradation through sustainable practices could feed 154 million more people annually.
It calls for tailored policies for smallholder farmers and integrated land-use strategies, including incentives and regulations, to improve food security and resilience.
