In general, farming practices have been found to account for most of the land degradation worldwide. Furthermore, while Europe is most affected by this phenomenon, North America is shown to be least affected among the regions listed.
Focusing on the main features of the pie chart, deforestation and overgrazing account for virtually the same proportions of land degradation in the world, with 30% and 35% respectively. In stark contrast, other factors have been proven to make up a mere 7% of global land degradation, which is four times as little as degradation caused by overcultivation.
As for the individual regions in question, deforestation is responsible for less than 2% of land degradation in North America and Oceania while in Europe it accounts for just under 10% of this issue. Interestingly, overcultivation has zero effect on land in Oceania although it makes up over a tenth of degradation combined in the other regions. Conversely, Oceania seems to suffer most from over-grazing in the form of land degradation with the percentage standing at around 11%.
