#AFPrepost @farshadusyan - In Afghanistan, one of the major problems is desertification. Desertification is land degradation of land caused by various factors. More than 70% of Afghanistan land is highly vulnerable to Desertification. With Desertification being such a problem, it has been partially responsible for the droughts over the past years. With very little water over the past years, it has been very hard for the farmers to produce crops. More than a quarter of the Afghan population, 9 million, are facing a shortage of food and it has left small farmers all over Northern Afghanistan facing hunger.

A 2009 report - funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) and written by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) entitled Socio-economic Impacts of Climate Change in Afghanistan - said: Crop failure levels due to water shortages and the amount of potentially productive land left uncultivated will probably increase. More water intensive staple crops will become less attractive to farmers, with a likely increase in the attractiveness of those that are more drought-hardy, including opium poppy.
