What is impacts on people?Show answer
Degraded land produces less food, so crop yields and livestock numbers fall, threatening food security and incomes for some of the world's poorest people. This can drive hunger and, in severe cases, famine. Loss of livelihoods pushes people to migrate to cities or across borders, and competition for shrinking productive land can fuel conflict. Communities lose the natural resource base on which their culture and survival depend.
