Desert Control is a company specialized in climate-smart agri-tech solutions to combat desertification, soil degradation, and water scarcity. Its patented Liquid Natural Clay restores and protects soil, reducing water usage for agriculture, forests, and green landscapes. Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) enables sand and degraded soil to retain water and nutrients. LNC increases crop yields, biomass production, and carbon uptake, while reducing water and fertilizer consumption by up to 50%.Our vision is to Make Earth Green Again.Climate change and global warming degrade soil and land, causing deserts to spread and temperatures to rise further in a vicious circle.1. Twelve million hectares of productive land are lost every year due to desertification and drought.2. By 2025, 1.8 billion people will suffer absolute water scarcity, and 2/3 of the world will experience water-stressed conditions.3. Restoring the soils of degraded ecosystems has the potential to store up to 3 billion tons of CO2 annually.Restoring and protecting fertile soil and green land enable better utilization of scarce resources and combat global warming. Reducing world hunger and poverty through sustainable use of land and water can secure global economic growth and the prosperity of nature, people, and planet.
