Global analysis reveals how armed conflict erodes farmland and potential food production

Armed conflict speeds up the loss of cropland, according to a new study published in Nature Food on September 24. The study shows that the damage can continue for many years after fighting starts. How much land is lost depends on how intense the conflict is and on the social conditions in the affected area.

Armed conflict accelerates cropland loss, and the effects can persist for years after conflict begins and vary substantially with conflict severity and social conditions, according to a new study published in Nature Food on Sept.
