Resumen
Descripción
A rapid population growth, with its exponential urbanization and extended and intensified unsustainable agricultural sector development (with over-pumping, overgrazing, monoculture, and heavy reliance on synthetic fertilizers) have been the main drivers of land degradation processes including progressive and accelerated salinization, soil and water pollution, soil fertility depletion, and erosion of genetic plant resources. These have further led to increased wind and water erosion and sand encroachment.
