When I see desertification I see my county of Devon is headed in that direction with the crazy practices pf cutting down of trees, digging up and flailing of hedges and use of huge tractors, creating a landscape where the topsoil washes away into the sea. Why are the local farmers so unaware of the their soil degrading practices with so much useful information around?

Traditional farming communities in Korea developed a system called JADAM, which has been proven to be used to make the land more alive. Namely maximizing the use of plants that have certain ingredients that are adapted to local conditions, livestock manure, mineral salt water, and other materials that are easily available nearby, then connected and integrated with the food chain system between plants, animals and humans, including the use of microorganisms. . I have started applying it to several areas of land that have been damaged, because the humus has been lost due to mining activities on the island of Kalimantan, where the condition of the soil is very similar to the condition of dry desert soil and is almost rocky. This effort is showing very good results and if this is tried to be applied on the African continent and other desert lands, it seems that it will slowly improve naturally and bring benefits that move very quickly. Greetings from me in Indonesia and it would be very good if the JADAM system which was pioneered by agricultural experts in Korea is implemented. Please see this method which has been widely broadcast on many KZbin channels, as a reference. Good luck and greetings to a healthy and green earth.

Did you follow permaculture principles of designing water barriers with the contour lines? The idea is to preserve as much rain water as possible in swales, ponds, small dams, and tanks. And add a lot of compost, then add tree guilds (7 layers of plants), then maulch and animals

Hats off to you and your team. I just stumbled upon this video and was fascinated to see the regeneration of the desert. I just have one question. Did you plant the local species of trees or imported from some other place which were similar but not local?

Primarily local species, though we did import a few to trial.

Another idea is to utilized some high technology that has not been used anywhere on earth yet, tungsten rods from space. These rods if dropped from space can create huge impact craters, to create lakes, dependent upon the size and speed of the tungsten rod, it is capable of delivering an energy output approaching that of a nuclear blast. If they were strategically dropped along all of these watersheds it could very inexpensively create a huge system of lakes, that would follow the channels for the runoff of the flood plane. The benefit of this method is that the cost would be minimal compared to having to generate a thousand large lakes utilizing heavy equipment, which would be quite expensive. Either Spacex's falcon heavy or their upcoming Starship would make the cost per flight quite inexpensive. It would of course require the development of a launcher to accurately target and accelerate each size of tungsten projectile to high speed and to the proper reentry vector, but that is just engineering with nations working together it is quite doable. Plus, if the cost of development were shared among all of the nations that would use it, specifically any nation which would like to capture its rain water runoff from flowing out to sea, then the cost to any individual nation could be kept to a minimum, since they would not be the sole owners of the system and would not incur the full development cost! Furthermore, for those who are worried about the possible military use of such a system it could be de-orbited once it had completed all of the tasks set for it. Or, it could be leased to others who had a non military use for it, to generate income and recoup some of the development costs. It could also be made fool-proof from misuse by having electronics that would allow any of the major nations to track every target set by the system and to intervene if the device were to be used in a manner inconsistent with its stated purposes, a hard wired kill switch. Lakes, berms & swales, dams, and key line methodologies can play a pivotal role in water management and capture.

I think that what is missing here are berms and swales, or lakes even these are also highly beneficial elements in capturing water in arid regions.

3 years have passed and the project feels dead. Perhaps plants need to be watered in a desert like in this project. I'm sure it could be self sustaining in the right location.

9:32 Are you really claiming, that the rainwater would have not soaked in, if not for the 'dams'? It is the same quantity of rain as always. It just soaks into the ground in different speeds. I am sure you know it and the wording was mistaken, not the knowledge.

Great work! it will stand in 1000 years! I have worked a lot with water based systems over the years. it occurs to me that with the funding such projects deserve, working with mobile quarry grading equipment would be a really useful if this were to be undertaken on a broad scale. The rocks, stones sands and gravels could he harvested and both used or sold. And all the fine silt and clays could be used to help seal the dam beds. Or better again and in addition purpose built dams at 2 metre intervals from the ridges landscape wide would utterly and permanently transform the landscape. Super work!

"Today it is a common belief that people are inherently bad for Earth. That by our very existence we do damage to our home, and that the best thing we can do is reduce our footprint. What most people don't understand is that reducing our footprint means destroying the Earth less quickly. We do not have to settle on being less bad for the Earth. We can actually be good for the Earth. We are not destructive by nature, but by habit. And our potential for destruction is mirrored by our potential for regeneration. The Al Baydha project shows that if we recognize our role as a keystone species on Earth, then we can become the primary vector for regenerating our planet. When we degrade ecologies it stems from a fundemental misunderstanding of the real value ecologies have. But by tying rural wealth to ecological function we can create powerful incentives for people to care for their ecologies rather than to degrade them. Furthermore tying rural wealth to ecological function lays the foundation for regenerative systems like the one we prototyped in Al Badya. Broadly applied, regenerative agriculture and regenerative economies have the capacity and potential to address a gordian knot of challenges that we face all over the planet. Rural poverty, food scarcity, freshwater scarcity and acquifer depletion, biodiversity and habitat loss, dead zones in our oceans, deforestation, desertification, soil erosion, and climate change." 💚

Two key things to note; nature/wildlife is resilient and persistent. You took the time to nurture the plants enough and we'll enough at the beginning, giving them time and strength to root in before the droughts. I think this is critical as to where a system can survive sever drough in its infancy. That's my two cents. 🙂
