The both charts show the reason for farmland degradation over the world, while the pie chart illustrates data globally, the table analyses information in accordance with regions.
It can be seen that 65% of agricultural land around the world is degraded by deforestation and over-grazing, which contributed to 30% and 35%. Additionally, over-cultivated activities also accounted for 28% farmland degradation. Another proportion of 7% resulted from other causes.
Regionally, those causes affected different places in the 1990s. In North America, 0, 2% of land was ruined by cutting down forests, this number was up to 9. 8% in Europe. Among the others, Europe had the highest percentage of degraded farmland, it also suffered from over animal grazing (5. 5%), and over-cultivation (7. 7%). In Oceania, deforestation affected 1. 7% of agricultural land, and 11. 3% was by over-grazing, tot the proportion of degraded land up 13%.
Overall, it is evident that Europe suffered the most from agricultural land degradation, and the main culprits were deforestation and over-grazing.
