Here is ur answer
Desertification is defined as a process ofland degradation in arid, semi-arid and sub-humid areas due to various factors including climatic variations and human activities. Or, to put it in another way, desertification results in persistent degradation of dryland and fragileecosystems due to man-made activities and variations in climate. Desertification, in short, is when land that was originally of another type of biome turns into a desert biome because of changes of all sorts. A huge issue that many countries have is the fact that there are large pockets of land that are going through a process that is known as desertification.
Overgrazing is the major cause of desertification worldwide. Other factors that cause desertification include urbanization, climate change, overdrafting of groundwater,deforestation, natural disasters and tillage practices in agriculture that place soils more vulnerable to wind. Desertification affects topsoil, groundwater reserves, surface runoff, human, animal and plant populations. Water scarcity in drylands limits the production of wood, crops, forage and other services that ecosystems provide to our community.

Desertification is kind of process in which the soil of a particular area degrades in quality and finally ends up in infertile,barren land.This land later loses the ability to support life.
Cause of Desertification :-
Desertification is caused by overgrazing of an area and the most important cause to be considered for desertification is incorrect irrigation practices and over usage of chemicals.
