: : : The desert area is expanding at growing rates every year. So why don't we change all the desert areas to productive farmlands? I know this project requires a great sum of money, but it's worthy and essential. By doing this, there will be more food supply for the growing population.
: : I think to make desert into farmland is too expensive.
: : The area whose soil resources are used up changes into desert gradually.
: : Those areas are usually located in poor countries where people do not have money.
: There are many plant and animal species that live and only live in the desert. If people were to turn the deserts into grasslands
: that would be detrimental to the desert ecosystem.
: Instead we need to focus on maintaining and preserving
: the derserts and grasslands that we have now.
