desertification mitigation

Desertification mitigation involves managing land to prevent or reduce the process where fertile areas turn into deserts, often caused by overuse, deforestation, climate change, or drought. Strategies include planting cover crops, restoring vegetation, using sustainable farming practices, conserving water, and preventing soil erosion. These actions help maintain soil health, improve water retention, and promote plant growth. The goal is to protect land productivity, support ecosystems, and ensure local communities can sustainably use natural resources without degrading the environment.
