The primary driver of loss of arable land is often attributed to intense urbanization and agricultural expansion. As populations grow, agricultural lands are frequently converted to urban areas or industrial developments, reducing land available for food production. Additionally, soil degradation, caused by unsustainable farming practices, leads to declines in soil fertility, further limiting arable land. Climate change exacerbates this issue, causing droughts and extreme weather that threaten crop yields. Addressing these drivers through sustainable land management and conservation strategies is vital for ensuring food security and protecting remaining arable land for future generations.
