How the Sahara Desert is Turning into a Farmland Oasis - GREENING THE DESERT PROJECT
How the Sahara Desert is Turning into a Farmland Oasis - GREENING THE DESERT PROJECT Baka Omubo 118 Views • 4 years ago

In the African Sahel a country called Niger bordering the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world, is stopping desertification and turning is deserts into an Oasis.

Regenerative Agriculture is leading the way with a technique called Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration or FMNR
FMNR was pioneered in the 1980s by Tony Rinaudo and Australian Agronomist who is widely known as the forest maker. The innovative technique has been adopted by local farmers through peer to peer learning making it cost effective and easy to implement. Over the last 40 years the visual results and the data have shown FMNR has been extremely successful in turning desert into farmland. It has regenerated 5 million hectors of degraded land, 200 million trees have been restored and has benefited 2.5 million people increasing house hold income by 18-24% the available arable land has doubled since the severe droughts of the 1970s and tree density has 10x since its all time low in the 1980s.

This is an extraordinary achievement considering Niger only receives on average 6.5 inches of rainfall a year and 80% of the country is considered a desert. The country has been effected by severe droughts and suffered huge land loss over the last decades and as a consequence Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. However Niger has been turning this around, by turning its deserts into a farmland oasis through the technique of FMNR which you will learn more about in this video.

Is fixing Nigerian leadership the only path to national progress? This analysis questions common assumptions about Nigeria politics.

Many Nigerians believe that simply changing leaders will solve the country's deep-rooted issues. This video examines whether that perspective is too superficial by looking at the reality behind current socio-political issues. We analyze scenes from a polling station and a News Central segment to break down why the focus on leadership might be missing the bigger picture.

By evaluating the complexities of fixing Nigeria, viewers will gain a clearer understanding of the systemic challenges facing the nation beyond the ballot box. We move past the surface-level arguments often heard in discussions about Nigerian elections and explore the underlying factors that actually drive the country's current state.

Subscribe for weekly analysis on Nigerian socio-political issues, and comment below on whether you think leadership is the primary problem.

The hidden history of an American coup. Correction at 7:23: Cynthia's ancestors lived in Wilmington, not her descendants.In November 1898, in Wilmington, North Carolina, a mob of 2,000 white men expelled black and white political leaders, destroyed the property of the city’s black residents, and killed dozens--if not hundreds--of people. How did such a turn of events change the course of the city? For decades, the story of this violence was buried, while the perpetrators were cast as heroes. Yet its impacts resonate across the state to this day.In the new Vox series Missing Chapter, Vox Senior Producer Ranjani Chakraborty revisits underreported and often overlooked moments from the past to give context to the present. Join her as she covers the histories that are often left out of our textbooks.
