Desert Contrlol og LNC nevnes i en omfattende studie om “desertification” i middelhavsregionen og Italia spesielt. Ser ut som om den ble publisert i dag. Jeg har bare skummet veldig overflatisk over innholdet, men gøy at LNC nevnes som en mulig bidragsyter i denne kampen.
Particularly, future developments could move ahead to deploy researches towards crosscutting edge such as recent NanoClay studies carried out within outstanding research groups (EIT Climate-KIC, Knowledge and Innovation Community) working to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon, climate-resilient society, in the desert areas of the middle east: it could open interesting fields of application in the landscape degradation of the Mediterranean areas such as the one of the Basilicata here focused by adopting a systemic approach. Turning desert into green land to cultivate desert into farmland normally takes 7–15 years: the research project Desert Control found a way to convert sandy soil into fertile land in 7 h. Desert Control produces Liquid NanoClay (LNC) by combining clay and water in a patented mixing process. The mix sinks into the soil, creating a 40–60 cm deep layer, which retains the water like a sponge. This layer stops water from evaporating and ensures optimal growing conditions for anything you plant in it. One application of LNC lasts a minimum of 5 years. NanoClay is completely organic and does not use any chemicals. Tests have shown a significant yield increase on anything planted in soil treated with LNC and fertilizer. Turning desert to green land lowers the surface temperature around 15 °C and reduces CO2 emissions by 15–25 tons per hectare.
