Soil Erosion

Soil is the earth’s fragile skin that anchors all life on Earth. It is comprised of countless species that create a and complex ecosystem and is among the most precious resources to humans. Increased demand for agriculture commodities generates incentives to convert forests and grasslands to farm fields and pastures. The to agriculture from natural vegetation often cannot hold onto the soil and many of these plants, such as coffee, cotton, palm oil, soybean and wheat, can actually increase soil erosion beyond the soil’s ability to maintain itself. The effects of soil erosion go beyond the loss of land. It has led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other . And degraded lands are also often less able to hold onto water, which can worsen flooding. Sustainable land use can help to reduce the impacts of agriculture and livestock, preventing soil degradation and erosion and the loss of valuable land to desertification.
