Overgrazing is solved by managing your pastures (or even re-Fencing it, if it comes to that) so that you prevent livestock from coming back from taking a second bite, or from re-grazing a pasture or paddock before it has enough time to recover. The best suggestion that can be made to prevent overgrazing is to break up one big pasture into many smaller paddocks in such a way that you can graze that one pasture (and those many paddocks) without having your livestock going back to graze those paddocks that were previously grazed. Paddocks need to be big enough to accommodate your herd, but small enough that they will be "forced" to eat everything in site during a predefined time period, such as a 24-hour period or a 2-day period.
DO NOT let your animals graze the grass to the earth. You MUST leave a good amount of litter behind, not just piles of dung. It is totally fine to leave a lot of grass as "waste" when you move the cows, such as from 50% to 70% left over (were livestock have been let to graze 50% to 30% of the grass, respectively). Don't get into the bad habit of thinking that if you have a lot of grass you can let your animals graze until there's nothing left, because that in itself is what overgrazing is all about!! If you leave litter behind, this helps add organic matter to the soil and adds to the nutrient value of the soil.
It is also suggested to better educate yourself about managed grazing practices like that suggested above (which is described as Managed Intensive Grazing or MIG, or rotational grazing), as there are many websites available at your disposal to read and learn from about rotational grazing/MIG.

Why are deforestation and overgrazing harmful to the land?
Deforestation and overgrazing are two common adverse effects of the human population on the environment. Deforestation and overgrazing leaves behind dry land and leads to desertification.
Why would overgrazing by cattle and sheep make the great plains vulnerable to the dust bowl?
Because overgrazing increases albedo
What are the causes of overgrazing?
The causes of overgrazing are letting stock and farm animals feed in one location too long without relocating them.

What can convert grasslands into desert....overgrazing or urban sprawl?
Both overgrazing and urban sprawl can lead to the conversion of grasslands into desert. Overgrazing by livestock can deplete vegetation, making the land vulnerable to erosion and desertification. Urban sprawl can result in soil compaction, loss of vegetation, and disruption of natural water cycles, all of which can contribute to desertification.
Did overgrazing create the Sahara?
No, overgrazing did not create the Sahara Desert. The Sahara Desert was formed as a result of shifts in the Earth's climate and tectonic plates over millions of years. Human activities like overgrazing and deforestation can exacerbate desertification, but they were not the primary cause of the Sahara.
