Identify three farming practices that contribute to desertification. Discuss how each practice can be avoided and how changing the practice will affect the soil.

See explanation

Explanation:

Poor irrigation: When too much water is used during irrigation or water is inefficiently used for irrigation purposes, there could be an overall decrease in the availability of water resources leading to vegetation loss and desertification. Therefore, water resources should be properly managed to avoid desertification.

Overgrazing: Overgrazing refers to excessive grazing of a grassland. When livestock are allowed to overgraze on a particular area, there is vegetation loss and consequent desertification. Grazing practices should be organized in such a way that grasslands are not subjected to overgrazing.

Poor tillage practices: Poor tillage practices such as continuous cropping makes the soil more porous and exposes the soil to erosion. There may be vegetation loss and finally desertification. Sustainable tillage practices such as shifting cultivation and bush fallowing should be adopted.
