Geography
Land Degradation
In this Class 12 Geography topic from “Land Resources and Agriculture,” students examine how land loses its fertility, structure and productive capacity through soil erosion, deforestation, overgrazing, mining, industrial waste, salinity, waterlogging and unsustainable farming. They learn to connect these processes with declining agricultural productivity, damaged ecosystems and affected livelihoods, while studying conservation and reclamation measures such as afforestation, controlled grazing, contour ploughing, strip cropping, shelter belts and watershed management.
