The environmental issue of desertification by overgrazing of cattle is of most immediate concern to policy-makers in New England.

Explanation:

The soils in the New England region are known to be extremely thin and rocky. The covers of grasses and shrubs in this region had never allowed the intensity of the problem of thin soils to be felt. But lately, due to overgrazing of cattle, the thin layers of soil in this region have become vulnerable to wind and water erosion. This has given rise to the possibility of the desertification of the region.
