The pie chart below shows the main reasons why agricultural land becomes less productive.
The table shows how these causes affected three regions of the world during the 1990s.

The pie chart shows the main causes of farmland becoming degraded in the world today, while
the table gives data on the regions affected by these causes.
Overall, over-grazing accounted for the majority of the total percentage of causes of worldwide
land degradation, while Europe suffered more from farmland degradation than the other
regions.
the major factor that causes the worldwide land degradation is over-grazing. 35% of agricultural
lands worldwide becomes less productive due to a single factor - over-grazing. Deforestation is
accounted for 30% degradation of cultivable land ,while over-cultivation results 28% land
degradation. All other minor reasons are categorised as ‘other’ and constitute 7% loss of land
fertility.
Europe ranked first by its 23% total land degraded, which was made up of 9.8% deforestation,
7.7% over-cultivation and 5.5% over-grazing. Oceania followed Europe with its 13% total land
degradation, which was mainly caused by over-grazing (13%). By contrast, North America had
the least total land degradation (5%) and over-cultivation (3.3%) consumed the largest portion
of it.
