The pie chart shows that there are four main causes of farmland becoming degraded in the world today.
Globally, 65% of degradation is caused by too much animal grazing and tree clearance, constituting 35%
and 30% respectively. A further 28% of global degradation is due to over-cultivation of crops. Other
causes account for only 7% collectively.

These causes affected different regions differently in the 1990s, with Europe having as much as 9.8% of
degradation due to deforestation, while the impact of this on Oceania and North America was minimal,
with only 1.7% and 0.2% of land affected respectively. Europe, with the highest overall percentage of
land degraded (23%), also suffered from over-cultivation (7.7%) and over-grazing (5.5%). In contrast,
Oceania had 13% of degraded farmland and this was mainly due to over-grazing (11.3%). North America
had a lower proportion of degraded land at only 5%, and the main causes of this were over-cultivation
(3.3%) and, to a lesser extent, over-grazing (1.5%).

Overall, it is clear that Europe suffered more from farmland degradation than the other regions and the
main causes there were deforestation and over-cultivation.

The given pie chart illustrates the leading causes of worldwide land degradation. On the other hand, the
table delineates additional data about how land degradation affects different continents of the world
during the 1990s.

Overall, it was observed that the percentage of total land degradation was higher in Europe than in the
remaining regions. On the other hand, it was clear that globally the main reason for non-cultivated land
was overgrazing.

Globally, 35% of total land was infertile due to overgrazing followed by deforestation and over-
cultivation with a share of 30% and 28% respectively. In contrast, 7% of the land was degraded due to
some other reasons.

Among the three regions, the highest land degradation was in Europe (23%). Here, the leading cause
was deforestation which contributed to 9.8%. Likewise, in Oceania, 13% of the land was degraded, in
which overgrazing was the leading cause that shares 11.3% of total land. Instead, land degradation was
significantly less because of over-cultivation. The least suffered region was North America, where the
leading cause was over-cultivation—damaging 33% of land out of 5%. Compared to this, the other two
causes of overgrazing (1.5%) and deforestation ( 0.2%) had a negligible effect.

The data illustrates the causes of land degradation. While the pie chart shows reasons for world-wide
land degradation, the table shows the same in three specific regions. The information was collected in
the 1990s.

Overall, over-grazing was a primary reason for the new barren land all over the world. At the same time,
Europe suffered the most land degradation among the three regions compared to other regions.

It is clear that the world lost green pastures, mainly due to overgrazing at 35%. The other two reasons,
deforestation and over-cultivation, contributed 30% and 28%. Other reasons for the same contributed
hardly 7%.

In the world, Europe suffered the most land degradation. Out of the 23% of the green land that Europe
lost, 9.8% of it witnessed deforestation, 7.7% saw over-cultivation and 5.5% was lost to overgrazing.
Interestingly, while overgrazing was the highest contributor to create barren lands worldwide, it
affected the least in Europe.

After Europe, Oceania has the most degraded land among given geographies at 13%. Although as
expected overgrazing contributed the most at 11.3%, over-cultivation was not observed in the region.
On the other hand, North America suffered the least at 5%. The primary source of loss of greens in North
America was over-cultivation, opposite of Oceania. Overgrazing and agriculture were minor reasons for
land degradation there.

The pie chart outlines the key factors as to why land used for agriculture produces less over time, while
the table gives a breakdown of the effect these causes had on agricultural land in three regions during
the 1990s.

Overall, over-grazing, deforestation, and over-cultivation are all significant causes of land degradation
globally, but the causes of less productive land in specific regions varies.

The pie chart shows that over-grazing by livestock is the most significant factor in land becoming
degraded with 35% of land being affected in this way. However, this is closely followed by deforestation
(30%) and over-cultivation (28%), with the remaining 7% being made up of other causes.

With respect to the table, it is clear that in the 1990s the North American region had the lowest amount
of degraded land at just 5%. Of this land, about two-thirds was damaged by over-cultivation, just under
a third by over-grazing, and a minimal amount by deforestation. In contrast, at the same time almost a
quarter (23%) of arable land in Europe was degraded. Unlike the American region, the main factor in
Europe was deforestation, with 9.8% of total land affected. Moreover, over-cultivation (7.7%) and over-
grazing (5.5%) were also majorly responsible for the deterioration of land quality. In the final region,
Oceania, the main cause of land degradation was clearly over-grazing with 11.3% of land being affected
by this out of a total of 13% of land degraded in total. Conversely, over-cultivation appeared to play no
role in this part of the world, while deforestation affected only a relatively small amount (1.7%)

The first diagram describes the comparative statistics of the 4 primary causes in the world of land
deterioration, while the second chart illustrates the effects of this in three main continents mainly
Oceania, North America and Europe in the year 1990.

Overall, when it comes to reasons for land degradation, overgrazing garnered the highest percentage
while the other category received the lowest fraction. Europe obtained the largest proportion of
degraded land and North America had the lowest percentage obtained.

On the one hand, overgrazing of farm animals established the primary reason for land deprivation with
35% followed by deforestation and over-cultivation with 30% and 28% respectively. With 7 % of the
other reasons, the category had the smallest proportion.

On the other hand, the European countries had the greatest proportion of degraded land with 23% with
over-cultivation being the main reason trailed by Oceania and North America with 13% and 5%
accordingly.

The bar chart compares the main cause of the lack of global farmland, namely over-grazing, over-
cultivation, deforestation, and the rest. In the term of the table describes that the cause of land
degradation, by three areas in 1990s.

Firstly, over-grazing was highest proportion of entire land degradation, by 35% in 1990s.Sequentially,
the impact of deforestation and over-cultivation, constituting 30% and 28% respectively. The rest
accounted for just 7 %.

On the other hand, according to the table, Europe was the most influence of agriculture land shortage,
by 23% of total, which including deforestation by 9.8% as many as 7.7% in over-cultivation, and 5.5% in
over-grazing. In comparison with North American, there was less damage on its farmland, in total of
degradation represented by 5%.Despite in Oceania, there was no account of over-cultivation to harm
farmland, over-grazing represented by 11.3% to be the significant suffering of total less productive
land(13%).

To sum up, in 1990s over-grazing was the main reason of global land problem, in the same time, Oceania
suffered seriously from this case.
