How we green the desert


It goes without saying that we are facing worldwide desertification. What is accelerating this problem? I think the global population growth is the one. Under these circumstances, securing food is paramount. As the monetary economy is spread around the world, there is no way to self-serve food and people develop nature for life. According to the famous story of Ladakhregion in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, people who were living in harmony with nature were interviewed about the situation being controlled by the monetary economy.Ancient Futures: Lessons from Ladakh for a Globalizing World is a book by Helena Norberg Hodge Another one is the overgrazing. They are required from buyers to breed sheep and goats with an emphasis on economic rationality. The root cause is the same, people cut and sell nature to live on.

One of my life's purpose is how widely I can green the world. Also, the greening should enrich people's lives. It is the technology that prevent the desertification and recover it. I will show it.

Quote from EU Science HubThe European Commission's science and knowledge service

Over 75% of the Earth's land area is already degraded, and over 90% could become degraded by 2050.

  Globally, a total area half of the size of the European Union (4.18 million km²) is degraded annually, with Africa and Asia being the most affected.

  The economic cost of soil degradation for the EU is estimated to be in the order of tens of billions of euros annually.
  Land degradation and climate change are estimated to lead to a reduction of global crop yields by about 10% by 2050. Most of this will occur in India, China and sub-Saharan Africa, where land degradation could halve crop production.

As a consequence of accelerated deforestation it will become more difficult to mitigate the effects of climate change .

・By 2050, up to 700 million people are estimated to have been displaced due to issues linked to scarce land resources. The figure could reach up to 10 billion by the end of this century.
