Question

what measures should be taken to improve the deterioration in soil quality​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Natural Resources Conservation Service estimates the world is losing 75 billion tons of soil a year annually.

The World Wildlife Fund estimates half the world’s topsoil has been lost in the last 150 years.

The UN estimates 12 million hectares of land are lost to drought and desertification each year, a potential loss of 20 million tons of grain. (A hectare is 10,000 square meters.)

The UN predicts land and soil degradation will reduce food production of the next 25 years by 12 percent, likely leading to a 30 percent rise in food prices.

The ELD (Economics of Land Degradation) estimates land degradation, including soil degradation, costs the world economy $40 billion annually.
