Chapter framing question: What are the consequences of land and water degradation on the multiple users of water in catchments?
Land degradation threatens food security for many of the poorest and most food insecure living in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It also contributes to persistent poverty, and results in decreasing ecosystem resilience and provision of ecosystem services. There is a direct relationship between the degradation of soils and degradation of water related services. These processes occur on local, regional and global scales, and are driven by physical, social, legal, institutional and policy realities.
Chapter purpose: To bring the most important messages from the field of land degradation to the water and food community.
