Detailed Solution

Afforestation helps in controlling land degradation.
Land degradation refers to the negative land quality changes due to overgrazing, soil erosion, and deforestation. Clearing forest cover for agricultural and infrastructural activities is a major cause of land degradation. The growing population demands more land for cultivation and industrialization. The forests are cut down to clear land and timber. Uncontrolled grazing activities lead to land clearing, leading to soil erosion and land degradation. Afforestation is a measure to plant more trees in place of the removed forest cover. It is an initiative to recover the lost forest cover.
