    The concern for the well-being of land is often directly related to one’s proximity to the land, be it physically, economically or culturally. Land is more precious if one’s livelihood depend on it immediately than if one is merely a visitor. Land is valued differently if it is the base of one’s power or wealth than if one’s community is in need of its integrity and depends on the ecosystem services (ESS) that it provides. To some extent, this may explain the great challenge UNCCD has experienced in mustering international support for its mandate.

    Land degradation affects negatively the livelihoods and food security of
    global population. There have been recurring efforts by the international community
    to identify the global extent and severity of land degradation. Using the long-term
    trend of biomass productivity as a proxy of land degradation at global scale, we
    identify the degradation hotspots in the world across major land cover types. We
    correct factors confounding the relationship between the remotely sensed vegetation

    With around one third of the world’s arable land degraded, estimated annual losses of 6.3 to 10.6 USD trillion, and a projected need to increase food production from land by 70 per cent by 2050, we simply cannot afford to neglect the loss of potential production from careless land management. Whenever land is not producing at its potential,it is an under-performing asset that requires investments to ensure the future supply chains that many industries depend upon.
