We successfully completed mulching our banana plantation, and the plants are now well organized. This was not easy for us because it was challenging to find enough grass for mulching, but we are happy we managed to finish it.
Mulching helps in keeping moisture in the soil, improves soil fertility, reduces weed growth, and protects the plants from strong sun and heavy rain. This helps the bananas grow healthier and stronger.

Norway’s Desert Control has introduced a breakthrough that sounds almost impossible. A technology known as Liquid NanoClay can transform dry sand into fertile soil in just seven hours.
By blending clay, water, and local soil, the mixture coats sand grains, allowing them to hold moisture and nutrients just like farmland. What normally takes decades through natural processes can now happen in less than a day.
Trials in the UAE and the U.S. have already shown promising results, proving that even deserts can be turned into green landscapes. This could reshape farming, protect against desert expansion, and secure food supplies for the future.

Flash droughts intensified by rising temperatures pose a significant threat to global food security. To address this, we need resilient farming methods, climate-smart agriculture, early warning systems, and improved water security infrastructure.
Sudden, severe dry spells known as flash droughts are rising in intensity around the world, with a notable exception in mountainous Central Asia, where flash drought extent is shrinking, according to new research. Heat and changes to precipitation patterns caused by a warming climate are driving these trends, the study found.
Ensuring nutrition is at the heart of climate smart agriculture
Farmers in sub-Saharan Africa need to diversify away from growing maize and switch to crops that are resilient to climate change and supply key micronutrients for the population, say researchers.
