Hi all,

Reflecting on the recent World Environment Day, which mentioned desertification, land degradation, and drought among the most urgent environmental issues, I am looking to understand,  how can technology help in combating desertification and drought.

Please also, share with me any other resources that could be useful in answering the above question.

What if we told you ... The key to solving climate change is right under our feet - Nature based solutions. We use the FMNR/Kisiki Hai restoration technique to regenerate trees. This is a very effective way of naturally healing the earth, it is cheap, attainable, improving our planet and people's lives at the same time. 🌱🌳🌎🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 Footage from our project site with Justdiggit #LEADfoundation #GenerationRestoration #fmnr #KisikiHai #Tanzania #Nature #Naturebasedsolutions #Restoration #Dodoma #RegreenRevolution #climatechange

I think technology is not only limited to the use of sophisticated devices but also the use of local knowledge which I think can be the best. You can see from this video.
