Adopting Robotics in Desertification Control: Innovative Pathways to Sustainable Development in Africa And Beyond
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 01
Abstract
Desertification is a critical environmental issue that threatens the sustainability of ecosystems, livelihoods, and economic growth, particularly in Africa. This paper examines the role of robotics as a transformative solution to combat desertification, with a focus on enhancing land restoration and sustainable agricultural practices in arid and semi-arid regions. It explores the potential of robotics and autonomous systems to address key challenges in desertification control, such as precision afforestation, resource management, and environmental monitoring. The paper discusses the significant benefits of integrating robotics into desertification efforts, highlighting how these technologies can improve efficiency and effectiveness in ecosystem restoration. Furthermore, it outlines the challenges and limitations associated with the adoption of robotics in Africa, including financial barriers, lack of technical expertise, and inadequate infrastructure. Policy recommendations are provided to promote investment in robotics for environmental management, encourage research and development tailored to Africa's unique challenges, and foster partnerships to ensure equitable access to these technologies. The paper concludes by advocating for the incorporation of robotics into national and regional development agendas, positioning them as essential tools for achieving sustainable development and mitigating the impacts of desertification.
