Desertification, land degradation, and drought are among the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, with up to 40% of all land area worldwide already considered degraded.

Healthy land not only provides us with almost 95% of our food but so much more: it clothes and shelters us, provides jobs and livelihoods, and protects us from the worsening droughts, floods and wildfires.

Desertification and drought are driving forced migration, putting tens of millions of people each year at risk of displacement.

Creating job prospects for rural populations is a viable solution that gives young people access to eco entrepreneurship opportunities and at the same time to scale up best practices.
