Planting new trees and restoring forests helps to stabilize the soil, reduce erosion, and improve water cycles, which counters desertification.

Climate change can alter rainfall patterns and increase the frequency of droughts, exacerbating desertification processes.

Educating the local population about sustainable practices and the risks of land degradation can lead to more responsible land use and help prevent desertification.

Overgrazing removes the vegetation cover that protects the soil against erosion, leading to desertification.

Enforcing land-use policies and establishing regulations to protect vulnerable areas can reduce the human impact on land and mitigate desertification.

Excessive or improper irrigation can lead to soil salinization and waterlogging, both of which degrade the land's productive capacity, furthering desertification.

Implementing sustainable land management practices, such as crop rotation and conservation tillage, can prevent soil degradation and combat desertification.

Using water-saving techniques and technologies reduces the overextraction of water resources, maintaining the balance of soil moisture and preventing desertification.

Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can anchor the soil, increase water retention, and maintain the nutrient cycle, resulting in desertification.

Using agricultural techniques suited to the local environment, such as drought-resistant crops and contour plowing, can enhance soil resilience and decrease the likelihood of desertification.

Developing alternative sources of income for communities can reduce the pressure on land from traditional practices like overgrazing and slash-and-burn agriculture, thus preventing desertification.
