Soil/Biome desertification is one of the greatest environmental problems of our time. It is the persistent degradation of dryland ecosystems by human activities including unsustainable farming, mining, overgrazing and clear-cutting of land — and by climate change. Desertification is a global issue, with serious implications worldwide for biodiversity, eco-safety, poverty eradication, socio-economic stability and sustainable development. We see it locally as erosion of the soil by wind and flash floods. 2.6 billion people depend directly on agriculture, but 52% of the land used for agriculture is moderately or severely affected by soil degradation. Land degradation affects 1.5 billion people globally. In the United States there doesn’t seem to be near as much concern for the accelerated rate of desertification, but it is even occurring in The Western US.
