Our participation in this programme aims to pilot the innovative Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) technology in Iraq, focusing on sustainable food production and efficient water resource management.\nFunded by a grant from the WFP Innovation Accelerator, the six-month pilot will be executed in collaboration with Desert Control's regional partner, Soyl (formerly named Mawarid Desert Control, part of Abu Dhabi-based Mawarid Holding), and the WFP Iraq Country Office. The project will target the enablement of agricultural cultivation under harsh desert conditions at a site managed by the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture's Department of Forestry and Combating Desertification. The initiative aims to demonstrate LNC's capacity to improve soil health, reduce water consumption, and convert low-value agricultural land into fertile areas suitable for high-value crops.\n\"Iraq has been grappling with environmental challenges such as drought, desertification, and water scarcity, which jeopardize food production and community livelihoods,\" said Ole Kristian Sivertsen, CEO of Desert Control. \"Being part of the WFP Innovation Accelerator Programme enables us to develop a blueprint for drought response and resilience, utilizing our innovation to transform degraded land into fertile soil. By enhancing agricultural productivity under water-limited conditions, we empower communities to manage their resources sustainably and contribute to global food security.\"\nThe WFP Innovation Accelerator, established in 2015, supports bold and transformative solutions to address food insecurity. Its SPRINT Programme (Sustainable Product Innovation & Technology) offers seed funding, hands-on project management, and access to WFP's expert networks. Desert Control's involvement aligns with WFP's mission to eradicate hunger and achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger).\n\"By leveraging innovative solutions like Liquid Natural Clay, we aim to tackle the root causes of food insecurity while building resilience in regions most affected by climate change and resource scarcity,\" said Bernhard Kowatsch, Head of the WFP Innovation Accelerator. \"We look forward to Desert Control and Soyl joining our programme to explore the potential of this technology to unlock sustainable food production.\"\nKashif Shamsi, Group CEO of Mawarid Holding, parent company of Soyl, expressed: \"As a group deeply committed to the conservation of natural resources, we are honored to work with Desert Control and WFP as the implementation partner for this groundbreaking initiative. This innovation programme holds immense potential to create lasting impact, transforming how communities in arid regions can sustainably cultivate their lands and achieve food security, which can become a global blueprint for solutions to end hunger.\"\nThe project plans to demonstrate the innovation's impact on agricultural crops, including olive trees, pistachio, and windbreak varieties in sandy soils, with performance monitored against designated control areas. Success metrics encompass reduced water usage, improved tree survival rates, and observable plant and ecosystem health enhancements.\n\"Through participating in this  programme, we aim to demonstrate how marginal land and sandy soils can be transformed into productive agricultural land, contributing to food security and sustainable economic development,\" Sivertsen added. \"Our mission is clear: soil health leads to healthy plants with less pressure on natural resources, which support healthy food, healthy people, and, ultimately, a healthy planet. We aim to make earth green again by delivering innovations that secure the future of humanity and the resources we depend on, and we are proud to work with the WFP team to drive meaningful impact on this mission.\"\nFor more information, please contact:\nOle Kristian SivertsenPresident and Group CEOEmail: oks@desertcontrol.com Mobile (NOR): +47 957 77 777Mobile (USA): +1 650 643 6136\nThis information was brought to you by Cision http://news.cision.com\nhttps://news.cision.com/desert-control-as/r/desert-control-s-soil-and-water-conservation-technology-selected-for-the-united-nations-world-food-p,c4084538\n View original content:https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/desert-controls-soil-and-water-conservation-technology-selected-for-the-united-nations-world-food-programmes-innovation-accelerator-to-enhance-food-security-302335835.html\nSOURCE Desert Control AS","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2492115252"}
