Soil affected by the phenomenon, the Forum recently reminded, loses its water-absorbing capacity, exposing itself to the risk of disruption when hit by later heavy rains. The European picture remains worrying: to date, the EU Commission&#8217;s <strong>Joint Research Centre<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu\/jrc-news\/droughts-europe-july-2022-almost-half-eu-uk-territory-risk-2022-07-18_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says<\/a>, the presence of &#8220;alarming&#8221; drought levels affects <strong>almost half of the continent&#8217;s territory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But the phenomenon, in any case, is widespread throughout the world. From China to the United Kingdom and <strong>East-Central Africa<\/strong>, drought threatens soils with particularly severe consequences for countries affected by greater <strong>food insecurity<\/strong>. Today, the Forum concludes, &#8220;More than 18 million people in Ethiopia, <a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/environment\/somalia-deforestation-acacia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Somalia<\/a> and Kenya face severe hunger, after four consecutive years of lower-than-average rainfall.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Continent is dealing with the worst drought in five centuries.
