Of all the global environmental problems, desertification is, perhaps, the most threatening for poor rural people. Desertification is the expansion of desert lands into previously non-desert areas. What are the causes of this problem? What can be done to solve this problem?

In the today’s world, with the influence of increasing population and natural changes, various environmental problems occur,

such

as

desertification

, which can be defined as the expansion of desert areas.

This

problem

may be extremely dangerous for people.

Although

some causes, which may affect individuals and nations badly, bring about

issue

. One of these, deforestation, is a man-made cause. People usually prefer to cut-down lots of trees to construct buildings, which is a really detrimental

problem

problem

.

Moreover

, since the lowness of oxygen which is produced by trees, air pollution may occur. With the mismanagement of farming, there may be losses of fruitfulness of soil so

government

offers educational programs for farmers about the irrigation and true way of farming,

this

may be help for preventing the

issue

of

desertification

.

Furthermore

, giving support to farmers by the

government

may be advantageous for farming. In conclusion,

desertification

can be the most hazardous

problem

among the other environmental issues.

However

, despite the fact that

its

the thing named or in question

it

causes can affect people and lands badly, the

problem

of expansion of desert areas can be dealt with by offering some beneficial solutions. By arranging right farming management and taking precautions for not cutting-down the trees,

this

problem

can be solved. It is recommended that the

government

and people who have a role in the field of agriculture work together and make decisions about it.
