The relationship between soil degradation and food security is critical, as healthy soil is essential for successful crop production. Soil degradation, caused by over-farming, deforestation, and contamination, leads to loss of nutrients, reduced fertility, and decreased agricultural yields. This decline directly impacts food availability and increases the risk of hunger and malnutrition for vulnerable populations. Additionally, degraded soils can contribute to environmental challenges, such as increased erosion and water runoff. Therefore, maintaining soil health is paramount for ensuring food security and the long-term sustainability of agricultural practices.
