Abstract

There are multiple causes of desertification which operate at many levels, form the way in which land is used in a farmer’s field, through the impact of land tenure regulations and agricultural pricing policy at national level, to global factors, such as world trade conditions and global warning, Desertification is also linked to the larger social processes, (such as the monetisation of local economies, population growth, urbanisation, and tarisation) that create push and pull factors influencing resource use.
