The given pie chart and table depict the significant causes of less productivity of agricultural land in three parts of the world in the 1990s. As is observed from the pie chart, the main reason for land degradation around the globe is due to over-grazing. It can be clearly seen from the table that Europe had the highest percentage of total land degraded than the other two regions.
Over-grazing is the main cause of worldwide land degradation which accounted for 35%. It is followed closely by deforestation which is 5% less than overgrazing by herbivores. The third reason why agricultural land degraded is caused by over-cultivation, accounted for 28%. The non-specific reason which is categorised as ‘other’ stood at 7%.
Europe has the highest percentage of land degraded which is 23% in comparison with Oceania which consists of the huge group of islands in the South Pacific including Australia and New Zealand (13%) and North America (5%). In Europe, the most detrimental cause of land degradation is deforestation by human beings which stood at 9. 8%, whereas in Oceania, it is caused mainly by over-grazing which accounted for 11. 3% than deforestation (1. 7%). Over-cultivation did not contribute to the cause of land degradation in Oceania but it was the main reason that led North America to face the land degradation problem, which accounted for 3. 3%.
