Land use (including the effects of soil degradation and deforestation) is estimated to contribute to between a quarter and a third of global greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC, 2019). The food system, including feed, agrochemical manufacture, processing, and transportation, is estimated to account for...
agricultural pesticides and fertilizers, impacts from mining and other forms of industry, the unwanted consequences of urbanization, and the systematic destruction of soil through over-intensive agriculture; we'll take land pollution to mean any kind of long-term land damage, destruction, degradation,...
This leads to humans using and favouring certain species, while competing with all other species. Land use can create diverse cultural landscapes of outstanding aesthetic, economic and ecological value, but it may equally result in land degradation, soil loss and impoverished ecosystems. Hence land ...
To get ahead of the curve of worsening environmental degradation and the poverty traps that occur at the forest edge requires special attention to the scientific evaluation of policies that create incentives for environmental stewardship in the varied contexts of the tropical forest frontier....

However, LULUCF can also make a significant contribution to the reduction of GHGs, by increasing the carbon storage of terrestrial ecosystems (carbon sequestration), by conserving existing carbon stocks (e.g. by avoiding deforestation or land degradation), and by providing renewable energy (biomass ...

Rural and urban transformation development underlying these regional discrepancies has led to a series of land-use problems, such as land degradation (including desertification and salinization) due to improper use, land pollution due to industrialization, farmers’ livelihood issues due to land ...
