Now 75% of Agricultural land has been degraded.
Causes of land problems and degradation are due to 1.Natural factors Problem
soils 2.Anthropogenic factors
Poor land management Population pressure Urban/Industrialization

Characteristics Causes
Soil physical degradation process : Soil chemical degradation process : salinization acidification leaching etc.
Improper land use
Poor land management: Machinery overuse
Tillage/cropping system Lack of knowledge
Urban/Industrialization Soil contamination
Marginal land expansion Forest encroachment
Anthropogenic factors exaggerate the degradation of soils
