Sinossi

Desertification, the escalating crisis of land degradation in drylands, threatens global food security and the livelihoods of billions. This book examines the environmental and human factors driving this process, emphasizing that it's not solely a natural phenomenon but is exacerbated by unsustainable practices. Understanding the interplay between climate variability, soil erosion, and human activities like overgrazing and deforestation is crucial. Case studies from the Sahel, the American Southwest, and Central Asia illustrate the diverse impacts and potential interventions.

 
The book "Desertification" progresses systematically, beginning with key definitions and indicators before delving into natural and human factors. It explores socioeconomic drivers like population growth and policy failures, culminating in an examination of mitigation and adaptation strategies. Evidence from satellite imagery, field studies, and climate models supports the analysis, offering a comprehensive perspective on this socio-ecological challenge.
