This review paper examines land degradation in India, highlighting its impacts on agriculture, ecosystems, and socio-economic conditions. It identifies unsustainable practices, deforestation, and climate change as key drivers, leading to soil erosion and loss of productivity. The concept of Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) is explored as a strategy to balance degradation and restoration, promoting sustainable land management. The paper calls for comprehensive approaches, including policy changes, technological innovations, and community involvement, to restore degraded lands and enhance resilience. By addressing land degradation, India can improve food security, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability, aligning with broader development goals.
