Supersonic 49,376 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 LA JUNQUERA, Spain — In a ghost town in southeastern Spain, Alfonso Chico de Guzmán is using ancient farming practices to restore the soil on his family's 1,000- hectare farm. If it works, he’ll hold back the encroaching desert — and maybe even bring his abandoned village of La Junquera back to life. The stakes are high. Chaotic weather and thinning topsoil are putting farmers like Chico de Guzmán under ever greater pressure. And it’s only going to get worse. Climate change models used by the European Commission project temperatures will increase by more than 2°C in Spain by the end of the century. According to a special report published by the European Court of Auditors in December 2018, three-quarters of Spain faces desertification, making it one of the most seriously affected countries in Europe. https://www.politico.eu/article/farmer-sand-spain-fight-against-desertification-soil-degradation/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,649 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Makes total sense. Desertification will just move northward. How sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 58,070 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 This is sad. Even in Romania there are lands at risk of desertification, one small portion already became one. In a few hundred years the entire Europe will be a desert if pollution won't stop and it doesn't seem like it's going to stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudraCNG 15,506 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yeah, I live in Barcelona and this year it barely rained like only 3 or 4 days. We haven't had a proper winter this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaniel 14,666 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Probably because of forest fires which leads to desertification and deforestation this is just so sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
