Description
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

It's also been shown that you can mount massive solar farms a bit higher up in the air (3meters+/-) and space them out a bit, and it allows you to grow crops underneath. They get plenty of sunlight and are offered some shade too to help prevent overheating and evaporation.

I am from Hungary. The South of Hungary is very sandy and it is hard to farm. So what did the farmers do? They started growing trees called: Robinia pseudoacacia (originally from north Mexico). This plant is actually kind of invasive, but it also has some benefits.

So interesting learning about these large scale projects and about the different methods on how to help the plant. Greening those areas helps the people in the areas and the ecosystem.

Of course we can, just like we can stop other climate crises, but will we?

I love this content! more please! Also, please talk about the "great green wall" projects and water-from-air (the new types with MOFs, not the condensers; also, MOFs as fertilizers!). and how may automation contribute to these and other ecological projects? Cheers!

The desert really sucks, we at the gulf region are fighting against all odds trying to plant and grow crop, so seeing things like this makes my happy.

The United States has nearly drained aquifers that were assumed to last forever by growing food plants in areas where there was not enough rainfall to sustain plant life. Now, much of that area is in drought and various communities fight with each other about water rights. These types of developments can be fraught with danger and I hope the developers are considering the ramifications.

It's actually magic to me to find out crops are being grown on sand, because sand has THE LOWEST water retention capabilities of all tipes of soil, there must be a way to turn sand into a soil with more clay and loam proportions, so that it contains more water and lowers irrigation frequency

Solarpanels to provide shade for plants could also be a great option for desert countrys to reduce sun stress on their agricultural plants and produce electricity simultaneously!

I saw an interesting idea where sea water was evaporated in greenhouses to provide fresh water for growing plants. It seemed a great way of de salinating water without consuming artificial energy. The moisture collected on the glass and ran down into channels that fed the plants. The main cost was pumping the water up from the sea to send it inland. so simple....(albeit not technically regreening a desert). Soils could be used by composting organic waste??
