Desert or Desertifica-tion?
Much of Africa is desert, but even more of it is threatened by desertification.
A Possible Solution
Terracing is a good way to prevent soil erosion and therefore fight desertification.
Help Them!
Children in particular suffer because of desertification because its effects can stunt their growth or even kill them
Possible Solutions
Educating African Farmers
- afforestation
- crop rotation
- use of fertilizer
- terracing
- controlling the grazing of farm animals
- good irrigation (making sure that the water does not evaporate)
- overall good farming methods
Unfortunately, most African farmers are uneducated and poor, practicing substantial farming and living in areas which are not very well-populated. It is hard for them to get the tools, help, and education they need to stop desertification from taking over their farm lands- and that's where you come in.
