Human-induced soil degradation and land loss are eroding the planet's productive land base — at least 100 million hectares of healthy land lost annually and roughly 40% of land degraded — threatening food security and ecosystem services for over a billion people.

Healthy soil is a slowly renewable resource that underpins food production for billions, yet the world is losing it at an alarming rate through erosion, salinization, and intensive agriculture.
