Un tiers des sols de la planète - y compris les terres agricoles, les forêts, les pâturages et les terrains urbains - sont déjà dégradés et on estime que ce chiffre pourrait atteindre près de 90 % d'ici 2050. D'une manière générale, l'érosion des sols est considérée comme l'enlèvement accéléré de la couche arable de la surface terrestre par 'eau, le vent ou les cultures, ce qui entraîne une dégradation des sols. En outre, la dégradation des sols comprend également la détérioration des propriétés biophysiques et chimiques du sol, de l'eau et de la biodiversité. La dégradation des sols se produit naturellement, mais les recherches montrent qu'elle est de plus en plus causée directement ou indirectement par des activités humaines non durables, notamment la déforestation, le surpâturage, l'exploitation minière ou l'agriculture intensive. Cela a entraîné la perte de biodiversité, la désertification et une augmentation significative des émissions de gaz à effet de serre.
