vue - Rolling Back the Desert in Senegal
In Senegal, where farming employs 70% of the population, desertification and land erosion have led to food insecurity. This video shows how researchers supported by the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa program worked with farmers to identify and implement farming strategies that protect against further desertification and improve yields under these new conditions. Produced by A24 Media, this is part of a series of six videos on research supported by CCAA. The Climate Change Adaptation in Africa research and capacity development program (2006-2012) was a joint initiative of Canada's International Development Research Centre and the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID).

To stop the deserts spreading I have just seen a simple and successful Chinese video that shows them using a system on their sandy deserts called the Straw "checkerboard" method. I can't see why it can't be used elsewhere.

Your problem is degraded soils witch happens when humans put their unsustainable practice on to it. Listen to what this man says, everybody like those people here should learn about what he is saying: https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_world_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change

Wonderful video. I heard the narrator mention that they have planted some lemon trees. But I wonder if they have been encouraged to plant any other fruit trees like mango, avocado or even the shea nut trees?

You need to restore the natural vegetation with native trees and shrubs! And stop overgrazing by goats and sheep!

They should also use energy efficient "Rocket Stoves" for their cooking, cut down their fuel for fires by as much as 80%.

When people stop mining our planet and start to give back to it then we can have sustainability.

What an amazing transformation from your hard work. I noticed the villagers are still using three stone fires. Practical Action at http://practicalaction.org/improved-cooking-stoves has plans for affordable easy to build stoves that are safer and use up to 40% less fuel.
