If desertification in Africa continues at the present rate, nearly 75% of the populationcould need some sort of food aid by 2025.
Some comments made by government officialsfrom African countries affected by desertification
We have to grow morecrops in the fields we
already have.
In my country thepopulation is expected torise to 46 million by 2025.
We have to let peoplecut trees down, so that
people can cook their food.Deserts have always spreadand then retreated; it is part
of a natural cycle.In my country the GNI per
person is only $1076.
In many parts of Africa, theclimate is changing because
of global warming.We have to keep more animals
on the same area of land.
