Question

How does soil erosion cause food shortage among the people in the community?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Soil erosion inhibits our ability to grow nutritious food. By decreasing the nutrients available to plants as well as the space for them to put down roots, soil erosion can decrease crop yields by up to 50 percent. In addition, crops that do grow tend to be of a lower quality: misshapen, smaller and less nutritious.
