The Dust Bowl was a series of dust storms during 1930 through 1936. the main reasons for these storms was long lasting drought, The great Depression, and bad farming techniques. The combination of these 3 things created very dry soil that was easily eroded by strong winds. When the wind picked up large amounts of dry soil it created huge dust storms that was detrimental to the environment and the economy.

The biggest effects of the Dust Bowl was the reduction of agriculture due to the large amounts of sail being eroded, along with the already poor economy due to the great depression the Dust Bowl only furthered the unemployment since farmers production slowed significantly.

The government responded to the Dust Bowl by introducing programs known as "The New Deal programs". The purpose of this program was soil conservation, land restoration, and financially supporting farmers impacted by the Dust Bowl. Another decision that helped reverse the Effects of the Dust Bowl was the introduction of drought preventative farming techniques like crop rotation and contour plowing, which helped the soil stay hydrated. These solutions and programs put in place have a lot in common with ecocentric and anthropocentric ideas by making a priority to preserve the soil and the need for farming jobs for some people to survive and keep the economy booming.

This disaster made a lot of people realize that human actions can impact the environment negatively and lead to disasters like the Dust Bowl. Due to this disaster there was a huge emphasis on soil preservation and sustainable farming practices that are still used today to prevent another Dust Bowl.

Recently in 2020 there was another massive dust storm in the great plains. The issues that were connected to being the cause of this dust storm was the lack of proper soil conservation. Just like the Dust Bowl there were major droughts in the area along with strong winds which caused the dust storm. This event proves that we still have many things to learn from the Dust Bowl disaster to prevent more negative effects on the environment.
