Yes, on the one hand, agricultural expansion can directly affect habitat quality (HQ) by directly encroaching on natural habitat; on the other hand, newly added cropland can indirectly affect HQ by disturbing the surrounding natural habitats through anthropogenic disturbances, such as trampling and nonpoint source pollution. Land use changes occur constantly and at many scales, and can have specific and cumulative effects on air and water quality, watershed function, generation of waste, extent and quality of wildlife habitat, climate, and human health. Land use changes such as deforestation, forest degradation, and increase in croplands are vital concerns for both N2O and NO emissions. Growing population and its corresponding food demand is the primary driver of deforestation. Land-management options for greenhouse gas removal (GGR) include afforestation or reforestation (AR), wetland restoration, soil carbon sequestration (SCS), biochar, terrestrial enhanced weathering (TEW), and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Soil erosion is more prevalent in India compared to other forms of land degradation such as soil subsidence, landslides, and desertification. Several factors contribute to the prevalence of soil erosion in India. The global soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks to 2 m of soil depth are estimated at approximately 2400 Gt C which is three times the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Small changes in SOC stocks can, therefore, significantly impact atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and climate change. The farming practices are the major cause of soil erosion. The agricultural activities disturb the ground. The trees are cleared and the land is ploughed to sow new seeds. Since most of the crops are grown during the spring season, the land lies fallow during winters. Sustainable land-use practices improve rural communities' livelihoods by increasing productivity, reducing poverty, and enhancing resilience to shocks. As a result, local communities enjoy better food security, higher incomes, and improved quality of life. In dryland some soils could have a good capacity to increase soil organic carbon with certain management practices and duration specifically, the AR could increase the SOCS after 100 years of cultivation and tillage; however, the CL the SOC can be reduced. The conversion of forest to agricultural land and pasture causes a large reduction of carbon storage in vegetation and soil, and the decrease of soil carbon concentration is mainly caused by the reduction of detritus, the acceleration of soil organic matter decomposition, and the destroy of physical protection to wildlife. Land uses and management that reduce carbon inputs or increase losses compared to natural vegetation result in reductions in SOC over time, creating a soil carbon deficit relative to the levels of carbon that previously existed in the soil. SDG 15 is life on land and to "protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss." To safeguard places that contribute significantly to global biodiversity and continue preventing forest land to let the biodiversity thrive, Goal 15 aims to restore and promote the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial and other ecosystems. More than any other sector, agriculture is the common thread which holds the 17 SDGs together. Investing in the agricultural sector can address not only hunger and malnutrition but also other challenges including poverty; water and energy use; climate change; and unsustainable production and consumption.
