by 2050

The cumulative impact of climate change (based on the three RCP scenarios) and land use change is a projected increase in erosion rates of 13–22.5 % in agricultural lands of the EU plus UK by 2050. This sizable gap can be eliminated (or at least reduced) with management practices for reduced losses.
