Thank for this sift. It would be fantastic to reclaim portions of desert.

Desertification is given as one of the reasons for Darfur.
I know that parts of China are becoming desert also with poor farming techniques also.

really fantastic stuff. very reminiscent of janine benyus' work on biomimicry (the farm as prairie concept) and, by extension, rachel carson's work in raising awareness that we cannot farm by just covering our soil with chemicals forever.

anyone interested in this should also look up william mcdonough's 'cradle to cradle' work in architecture and design
