English term or phrase: soil exploitation

The text is about a relief organisation and what they do.

Context:
The effects of a continuous climate change have led to permanent desertification, characterised by higher temperatures, less rainfall, bushfires, deforestation and soil exploitation.

Does anyone have a good translation for "soil exploitation"? I already did some reasearch and found "Bodenkultur" but I'm not so sure this is a correct translation.

Thank you!

Ausbeutung des Bodens

Explanation:

Die Bedrohung der Natur und Umwelt auf weltweiter Ebene hängt mit dem Elend der Entwicklungsländer zusammen. Die ***Ausbeutung des Bodens***, das Abholzen der Wälder, das unkontrollierbare Wachstum der Städte können nur durch eine schrittweise, aber sehr bewusste wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle Entwicklung der Völker eingedämmt werden.

Um die Ausbeutung des Bodens durch Landwirtschaft oder Überweidung zu stoppen, sollen weitere Arbeits- und Einkommensmöglichkeiten geschaffen werden, so z.B. Agroforstwirtschaft, Fischerei und Fischzucht.

Erosion

Explanation:
passt in den Kontext, obwohl es dafür ja eigentlich auch den Begriff "erosion" gibt...

Alle oben genannten Phänomene sind "natürliche" Folgen des Klimawandels (nicht deren "man-made" Ursachen). Daher glaube ich in diesem Fall nicht, dass "Ausbeutung" hier passt.

Übernutzung des Bodens

Explanation:
... wäre auch eine Lösung, wobei dieser Begriff nicht ganz in deinen Satz zu passen scheint. Aber vielleicht hilft dieser Vorschlag trotzdem weiter.
