Africa's desert region contains marginal land.

Marginal Land

The type of land that is most threatended by desertification is marginal land. Marginal land generally has poor soil and has no significant time of the year when it recieves rainfall. This makes it the first type of land that is likely to become a desert.

Land shuld be under 1 ha

Marginal land for agriculture typically has poor soil quality, limited water availability, steep slopes, or is located in areas prone to erosion, flooding, or drought. These conditions make it less productive and more challenging to cultivate crops successfully. Additionally, marginal land may require significant inputs such as fertilizers or irrigation to support agriculture.
