Depletion of agricultural soil fertility leading to poor crop yields
Soil fertility depletion directly undermines rural agricultural production and livelihoods. Because rural economies depend heavily on farming, severe land degradation creates hardship that forces rural dwellers out of their villages to seek survival in urban centers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define push factors in the context of rural-urban migration
Push factors are unfavorable socio-economic or environmental conditions in rural origin areas that force residents to migrate.
Understanding the distinction between push factors (negative rural conditions) and pull factors (positive urban attractions) is key.
2
Evaluate the options against rural push factor characteristics
Declining soil fertility directly impairs agricultural productivity, causing rural poverty and pushing farmers to seek urban employment.
Degraded natural resources in rural areas act directly as economic push motivators.
