	Global plan tackles neglected issue of desertification 27 Sep 2007 13:02:00 GMT - Blogged by: Alex Klaushofer If you were to put the main humanitarian story of the summer in a nutshell, you might describe it as just "Too Much Water". But, ironically, one of the main threats facing the developing world in the next few years is the opposite problem of "Too Much Dry", or - to put it more technically - desertification. The earth's creeping deserts and their likely impact on food production is one of the humanitarian world's under-reported stories. Yet the problem is urgent and large-scale, with the United Nations warning desertification could drive 50 million people from their homes in the next ten years. And it's likely that the poor will bear the brunt, as the loss of cultivable soil and vegetation brings hunger to millions in Africa and Asia. But, while the world seems to have woken up to the threat of climate change, desertification has failed to grab much attention, featuring neither in politicians' speeches nor in aid agency campaigns highlighting the link between environmental trends and poverty.
