The consequences of desertification is life threatening because losing the most productive areas of the world leads to a global famine. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has classified desertification as one of the most serious global environmental problems. Understanding the severity of the problem pushes us to look for appropriate solutions to the problem.
