Desertification
in Egypt
What is DESERTIFICATION and why is it happening?
The Solution
The Moringa Tree
In Egypt anti-desertification reasearch is being done. Reasercher have found an possible soluion. A plant known as the moringa tree can help keep farmland productive so soil will not erode away. This plant grows in subtropical regions and can be grown in Egypt along the fertile banks of the Nile River.The moringa tree isn't justa crop to keep the land productive it is also a type of plant who's leaves have...
- 7 times the amount of vitamin C in oranges
- 4 times the vitamin A of carrots
- 4 times the calcium in milk
- 3 times the potassium of bannanas
- 2 times the protien in yogurt
By planting these moringa trees desertification would decrease and erosion would be less. And just like that every tree could make a difference.
Nile Valley
This narrow strip of land borders the Nile River the major source for natural resources such as fertile land water, and transportation.
