Theme of SOFA 2025 | SOFA 2025 का विषय
The report is titled 'Addressing land degradation across landholding scales'. It examines the relationship between land degradation, agricultural productivity, poverty, hunger and vulnerability.
Report का शीर्षक 'Addressing land degradation across landholding scales' है। इसमें land degradation, agricultural productivity, poverty, hunger और vulnerability के बीच संबंध का अध्ययन किया गया है।
1.7 Billion People Affected | 1.7 अरब लोग प्रभावित
FAO estimates that around 1.7 billion people live in areas where crop yields have declined because of human-induced land degradation.
FAO के अनुसार लगभग 1.7 billion लोग ऐसे क्षेत्रों में रहते हैं जहाँ human-induced land degradation के कारण crop yields में गिरावट हुई है।
Land Degradation and Agriculture | भूमि क्षरण और कृषि
Land degradation reduces soil fertility, water retention, biodiversity and the productive capacity of agricultural land. It can therefore worsen food insecurity and rural poverty.
Land degradation soil fertility, water retention, biodiversity तथा agricultural land की productive capacity को कम करता है। इसके कारण food insecurity और rural poverty बढ़ सकती है।
Major Drivers | प्रमुख कारण
The report identifies processes such as deforestation, overgrazing, unsustainable cropping practices, soil erosion and poor land management as important contributors to land degradation.
Report में deforestation, overgrazing, unsustainable cropping practices, soil erosion तथा poor land management को land degradation के महत्वपूर्ण कारणों में शामिल किया गया है।
Agricultural Expansion and Deforestation | कृषि विस्तार और वनों की कटाई
Agricultural expansion has historically been a major driver of global deforestation and has transformed land-use patterns across the world.
Agricultural expansion ऐतिहासिक रूप से global deforestation का प्रमुख कारण रहा है और इसने विश्व भर में land-use patterns को बदल दिया है।
Regional Vulnerability | क्षेत्रीय संवेदनशीलता
Large affected populations are concentrated in densely populated agricultural regions, including parts of eastern and southern Asia, where land pressure and degradation can have major implications for food security.
प्रभावित बड़ी आबादी densely populated agricultural regions में केंद्रित है, जिसमें eastern और southern Asia के कुछ हिस्से शामिल हैं। इन क्षेत्रों में land pressure और degradation food security को गंभीर रूप से प्रभावित कर सकते हैं।
Abandonment of Cropland | कृषि भूमि का परित्याग
The report also draws attention to the annual abandonment of millions of hectares of cropland, with degradation among the factors contributing to the loss of productive agricultural land.
Report में प्रत्येक वर्ष millions of hectares cropland के abandonment की ओर भी ध्यान दिलाया गया है, जिसमें degradation productive agricultural land के नुकसान का एक महत्वपूर्ण कारण हो सकता है।
