Desertification: (without viewing online content sorry cuz it don't work)

Desertification is one of Africa's greatest environmental concerns because of the great impact it has. Excluding Egypt, (which has the Nile River that provides what Egypt needs for thousands of years) most African countries are completely desert, with little source of water. This puts them in a position in which they can only do minimum farming, and mostly gather food from hunting or from desert plants. These usually are poor food, and so it is hard for them to even provide for themselves. What little farming areas they can use is generally used up quickly, due to overuse (forgot the term sorry*). This leads to desertification, and the land is useless in a couple of years. This impacts the people, because it means that even when they try to produce more and more food, overall, they will only be producing less and less. One way to solve this problem is to irrigate water to certain areas and allow it to stay fallow, and so it can slowly regrow. However, this is costly and takes a long time. This is a long-term problem, and will impact the people living in the area for years to come.



hope this helps
