Soil loss reduces cultivable soil depth, but also takes away fertile soils from farmlands. The net effect is a loss of agricultural productivity, increased expenditure on fertilizers, and a general decline in profitability of crop production.

Esta guía está acompañada por otra guía que se centra en un aspecto distinto del registro de derechos de tenencia: la creación de un sistema nuevo para registrar los derechos de tenencia por primera vez (Mejorar la manera de registrar los derechos de tenencia). Como estas dos guías abarcan distintos aspectos del registro de derechos, pueden leerse como documentos independientes y, como tales, tienen texto en común. No obstante, algunos lectores pueden beneficiarse con la lectura de ambas.
