USD 10.6 trillion in losses per year are caused by land degradation

Ecosystem service losses caused by soil degradation come in the form of loss of crop yields as well as disruptions in the water and carbon cycles. According to the ELD’s Value of Land report (2015), soil degradation is a threat to food security affecting the livelihoods of more than 1.4 billion people.
