Answer:
Desertification is result of human activities, such as overgrazing poor cropping patterns etc.
Explanation:
- Desertification is the core problem that Sub Saharan Africa is currently facing as it puts Africa at a much greater risk of food security, physical infrastructure an natural resources and damages national security.
- As the process of desertification leas to land being degraded, acidification and the underlying cause are changing weather patterns, changing build-up areas and continuous overgrazing by animals.
- Long term impact of these desertic conditions will lead to the soil and landscape being blow away by wind and running water also since most of this region is agro-based it desertification in rural areas leads to poverty. Sample can be seen in Uganda as a result of overgrazing land became dry and unstable.
- At least 50 million people will migrate from this region in the year 2020, as dry land covers about 65% of the African continent.
