Burkina Faso has had widespread land degradation and desertification due to the droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. More recent climate changes such as decreased rainfall and higher temperatures make droughts and floods more frequent, placing even more pressure on arable land. The problem of land degradation is even more severe given the growth of the population and the use of unsustainable agricultural practices.
