The more desert soils can be converted into fertile farmlands, the more areas all over the world can be kept or returned in their natural state.

This is also the more relevant, the more the world's population keeps on growing and growing.

Deforestation of tropical woods can be reduced if crops can be grown in greenhouses on re-fertilised desert soils.

Moreover, re-fertilised desert soils can host a plethora of organisms which literally keep the soils alive and are also storing carbon dioxide themselves throughout their lifetimes.
