It’s a vicious cycle because without good soil and all the effects of climate change they are unable to plant in their land leading to them not only not being able to feed themselves but not being able to feed any animals to get meat from them. While its gross domestic product has been climbing steadily in recent years,'its rates of malnutrition and starvation-related disease and death remain staggeringly high (Birchfield, 31). So even though they are able to produce and sell more goods it’s still not helping them feed their country

Like I stated in one of the other posts. It’s a cycle. Countries not having healthy Dirt leads to them not being able to grow on it which not only leads to starvation but also these climate effects like droughts and dust storms. Drought has always been a normal recurrent event in arid and semi-arid lands. Strategies and tactics to mitigate its consequences via improved land-use and management practices are analysed.

Since majority of California is made up of paved roads the ground isn’t able to absorb the rain water. This means that they have to get water reallocated from other states to keep their dirt and crops alive and growing. Of the six states that comprise this study of water marketing in the West, California appears to have the strongest statutory mandate to promote the voluntary transfer of water and water rights (Rev. 31)

California has a problem when it comes to collecting and retaining groundwater mostly because of how much pavement and urbanization has occurred there so when it rains the water is sent away instead of absorbed into the ground. California's water supply system appears physically capable of adapting to significant changes in climate and population, albeit at a significant cost. Such adaptation would entail large changes in the operation of California's large groundwater storage capacity, significant transfers of water among water users, and some adoption of new technologies (Tanaka, 3-4)

Abstract

The ability of California's water supply system to adapt to long-term climatic and demographic changes is examined. Two climate warming and a historical climate scenario are examined with population and land use estimates for the year 2100 using a statewide economic-engineering optimization model of water supply management. Methodologically, the results of this analysis indicate that for long-term climate change studies of complex systems, there is considerable value in including other major changes expected during a long-term time-frame (such as population changes), allowing the system to adapt to changes in conditions (a common feature of human societies), and representing the system in sufficient hydrologic and operational detail and breadth to allow significant adaptation. While the policy results of this study are preliminary, they point to a considerable engineering and economic ability of complex, diverse, and inter-tied systems to adapt to significant changes in climate and population. More specifically, California's water supply system appears physically capable of adapting to significant changes in climate and population, albeit at a significant cost. Such adaptation would entail large changes in the operation of California's large groundwater storage capacity, significant transfers of water among water users, and some adoption of new technologies.

Mining for things like coal and iron and gold etc. is hurting our dirt and our environment more. We already lose enough of our biodiversity due to deforestation. Strategies to increase the soil carbon pool include soil restoration and woodland regeneration, no-till farming, cover crops, nutrient management, manuring and sludge application, improved grazing, water conservation and harvesting, efficient irrigation, agroforestry practices, and growing energy crops on spare lands (Lal, 304).

Soil Carbon Sequestration Impacts on Global Climate Change and Food Security

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The carbon sink capacity of the world's agricultural and degraded soils is 50 to 66% of the historic carbon loss of 42 to 78 gigatons of carbon. The rate of soil organic carbon sequestration with adoption of recommended technologies depends on soil texture and structure, rainfall, temperature, farming system, and soil management.
