Soil erosion is the primary cause of land degradation, accounting for over 80% of all degraded land.

Land degradation leads to a decrease in food production, not an increase.

Land degradation affects food security by reducing the availability of arable land, decreasing crop yields, and making food more expensive.

Slash-and-burn agriculture is a destructive practice that leads to land degradation. It is not a strategy for sustainable land management.

Agroforestry is a sustainable land management practice that provides multiple benefits, including preventing soil erosion, improving soil fertility, and providing a source of income for farmers.

Technological advancements can help to address the challenges of food security in the context of land degradation. They are not a challenge themselves.

International cooperation plays a crucial role in addressing land degradation and food security by sharing knowledge and best practices, providing financial resources, and promoting trade and investment in sustainable agriculture.

Sustainable land management aims to achieve multiple goals, including increasing food production, protecting the environment, and improving the livelihoods of farmers.

The Great Green Wall, SRI, and the Zaï technique are all examples of successful sustainable land management projects that have improved food security and livelihoods in different parts of the world.

Individuals can contribute to sustainable land management by reducing their consumption of meat and dairy products, supporting farmers who use sustainable practices, and educating themselves and others about land degradation and food security.
