To what extent do soil degradation and desertification, caused by overexploitation, deforestation and climate change, reduce crop production, threaten food production, cause food shortages and lead to population migration? How can the progressive degradation of soil and the desertification of areas that were used for agriculture be reduced?

Numerous scientific studies confirm that soil degradation and desertification, which are the result of overexploitation, deforestation and climate change, pose a serious threat to food production and cause mass migration. Intensive land use without adequate fertilisation and protection leads to soil depletion and erosion, while deforestation reduces water retention, increasing the risk of desertification. Climate change, such as rising temperatures and changes in precipitation, also contributes to these negative processes. Soil degradation and desertification have serious consequences for food production, leading to lower yields and, in extreme cases, the complete disappearance of crops, which in turn causes food shortages and price increases. In addition, desertification causes the loss of agricultural land, making it impossible to produce food in these areas. These problems are also the cause of population migration, forcing people to leave their homes in search of better living conditions. In order to effectively solve the problem of soil degradation and desertification, it is necessary to implement comprehensive measures such as sustainable agriculture, soil conservation, restoration of degraded land and the fight against desertification. Scientific research plays an important role in this process by providing the knowledge and analysis necessary to develop effective strategies.
