Listen "4. Is growing food in the desert really possible?"
Episode Synopsis
Join us as we explore some of the latest research into desert agriculture and why on earth anybody thinks it's a good idea. Scorching sun, infertile soil and lack of water are but a few of the challenges facing the transformation of desert into farm. The alternatives, however, are equally unpalatable - bulldozing rainforest and other pristine environments for massive mono-cropping. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
