If you work in land management and/or climate resilience – our webinar will help you stay up to date with ways to prevent and reverse desertification.
No single solution to desertification exists. But, as the packed webinar demonstrates, you already have many promising options to consider:
Digital soil sensors, seed bombs, livestock grazing systems, fog-water collectors, citizen-science apps… and many, many more.
We co-hosted the webinar with our sister project, MONALISA_EU, on June 17, the International Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. Thank you to all our excellent speakers and participants on the day – let’s keep the momentum going!
