Question

Whyare some regions of india facing the problem of poor land quality

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes some regions in India are facing problem of poor land quality.

Causes of Soil Degradation :

1) The land degradation is caused by excessive pressure on land to meet the competing demands of the growing population for food, fodder and fibre.

2) Various human activities, such as the introduction of large scale irrigation canals, deforestation and faulty land use lead to accelerated soil degradation through salinization, flooding, drought, erosion and waterlogging. These processes, in turn, reduce agricultural productivity leading to social insecurity.

3) Emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere resulting into the global warming could be the major reason for soil degradation.

The causes of degradation due to direct/indirect human interventions are (a) Deforestation and removal of natural vegetation,

(b) Overgrazing,

(c) Agriculture-related activities, and

(d) Over exploitation of the vegetation for domestic purpose.
