241. As much as 28% of the world’s land surface suffers from drought (not so surprising, when you consider that the Sahara occupies nearly a billion hectares).
242. Mineral-stressed soils account for a further 23%.
243. Soils that are too thin to be much use cover 22%, while waterlogged soils account for 10%.
