Increasingly, arable land in Morocco is disappearing under the desert. Year by year, desertification poses a growing problem for farmers – and in Morocco, 50 percen tof the population lives from agriculture. Farmers are hoping to tackle the problem with modest projects that have a major effect: by planting argan trees, for example, they can help prevent soil erosion. Cultivating cactus plants also helps, because they can withstand desert conditions. They also produce cactus-seed oil and jam, which boost the farmers’ incomes.
