It is really possible! Turning deserts back into fertile agricultural land and, so, together, restoring the planet, the environment, and the economy. And it's urgently needed, too, for biodiversity is being lost on a large scale. Erosion causes heavy flooding and exhaustion destroys agricultural land. But there are people who go to bat against ecological destruction. Passionately, they make the earth fertile again. Not only nature benefits, but man as well as the economy reap the fruits as well.
