Liquid NanoClay converts sand fit for organic farming and agriculture

Liquid NanoClay converts sand fit for organic farming and agriculture

Can you actually convert dry lands into green landscapes? The UAE has made it possible by turning natural clay liquid into as thin as water. A Norwegian startup has been encouraged by the UAE by using technology that will mean spraying sand with Liquid NanoClay (LNC) and turning it into the soil in a matter of hours. 

Counted as ‘green hero’, these are also being looked at as someone who will be fighting desertification; something the UAE has been trying to achieve for decades. Invented in the early 2000s by Norwegian scientist Kristian Olesen, Liquid NanoClay is the secret behind Desert Control’s amazing achievements. When sprayed onto the sand, this amazing invention trickles down and percolates the sand, turning it into water-retaining soil where plants can germinate and thrive.

As one of the countries that have always encouraged innovation, startup culture is also taking off. The intent is to create a huge impact on food security, carbon footprint, and water consumption. As a company, their focus is set on UAE at the moment, as a prospective market that is moving closer towards sustainable practice. UAE is considered a wealthy market that currently imports around 90 percent of its food, where the economy is moving towards self-sustained own production.

As food insecurity is becoming a real thing in many countries, this kind of technology can actually solve the problem. According to the Director General of Dubai’s International Center for Biosaline Agriculture, this kind of technology could have a huge impact on food security and on the ability of many of those countries to use their own crops. 

On the flip side, a CNN report has confirmed that the cost of treatment ranges from $2 to $5 per square meter (11 square feet), not exactly cheap, considering the vast areas that need to be treated with Liquid NanoClay in order for agricultural projects to make sense. However, Desert Control plans to develop units capable of producing large amounts of Liquid NanoClay, which would bring down the price considerably.

Netanyahu’s Shocking Gaza Plan: ‘We Will Take Control of ALL of Gaza’ — But At What Cost?

  As Israeli forces intensify their offensive, Netanyahu vows total control of Gaza — but the humanitarian crisis is reaching a breaking point. Will the world stand by and watch? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security. But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault. Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee described the coming attack as ...

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade

  The Muslim Brotherhood started in Egypt during 1928 since then it has portrayed itself as a combination of political organization and social movement working for Islamic values and governance. jinakata the Brotherhood displays an intricate web that connects extremist concepts and violent deeds which produce regional turmoil.
