To all the farmers who read this from around the world, if you are out there helping the land, THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU! Keep up this work! I have so much respect for the re-greeners out there.
Great video. Local knowledge is important & planting trees is key. Trees can change the microclimate. More trees = more rain, and watershed is restored, more water stays on the land. We need more trees, globally, to stop climate change and to produce more healthy food.
The Heart of the Farming is Compost making, collect the Cows Dung 🐂 combine it with faded wilted 🌿 and pile it up layers by layers into a Compost Heap, cover with Straw Leaves and Wait for 3 months to be Transformed into a Living Humus Earth.

The worst about the modern agriculture is not about the chemicals, the destruction of the soils or the seeds companies. The worst effect is the loss of all traditional techniques and knowledge forged for hundreds of years, to adopt one model. Thanks to people like Dr Chris Reij things are changing. Hope much will catch this train.
Mother nature does not like to be naked, for all those who don't understand this comment I will explain. In nature you hardly see productive land bare, the land should always be covered. Covered land preserve moister, moister allows things to grow. Growing plants provides a nutrient rich soil.
Nature doesn't do any thing , Allah(God) systems runs this universe. In the Quran ( And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do).
This video is so inspiring, we europeans often think africa is just a bottomless hole, you send money but you do not accomplish anything. This shows that africa has sooo much potential and it can be done with little capital. Not only revitilising the desert but also local communities and trying to stop climate change. I while ago I read a lot of research papers about organic matter in the soil and their impact on the lands fertility and I made some (admitedly not very scientific) estimates how much carbon could be stored if only a small percentage of savannah or desert regions could become "green". In a single hectar (100 x 100 meter) you can store about 30 t of pure carbon if not more (as I've said it wasn't very scientific, I am a lay person, it could be more it could be less, but I would be surprised if I was too far off). 30 t of carbon is the equivalent of 110 t of co2. Just think about the potential if we would do this on 100 Mio ha, which isn't unrealistic at all, it would still only be a small percentage of the available land. It gives me so much hope not just for the climate, but for the african people.
The beauty of this is that the technique is simple, requiring no special tools, doable, and the people who are directly affected are involved with pride and sense of ownership; that is why the project is successful.👏🏼👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I totally agree, Brooks. I saw this meme on Facebook that said: The United States government sends 54 percent of its budget on war and 6 percent of its budget on education. That is such a waste of lives and resources.
The real problem is that too many elections and legislation are bought. It is probably the greatest risk to democracy in the USA today. 'Ike" warned us about an overreaching Military -Industrial Complex and his credentials as a conservative were pretty good.
Brooks Anderson the farmers already knew how to farm they are returning back from as of 10 years ago. Much of Africa is fertile land the index people are missing from war fleeing for life means no farming.
EDIBLES I HOPE . FOR TREES DATE AND FIG , GRASSES SUCH AS MILLET . THE GREATER SAHARA AREA COULD EASILY FEED THE WORLD . YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT OUR MILITARY BUDGETS , JUST A SMALL READJUSTMENT COULD REGREEN OUR PLANET TO GREAT ECOLOGICAL AND HUMAN BENEFIT .
Africans need independance from the selfish Western help. They are capable of doing the best provide that they are left to work by themselves. Keep on the good job Dr Chris
It's an old forgotten technic used by a farmer called Yacouba Sawadogo from Burkina Faso. He decided to use it in his village and created a 15 ha forest in a desertic place. Then people started to come back to live in the village since they were able to grow things and have enough to live. Now this technic is applied in many countries with the same conditions thanks to this pioneer. This kind of guys are more important than any politician or big corporation..
Montagnard indigenous Central highland we are farmer too that how we survived but today we lost all property to ethnic Vietnamese , the vN government wipe us out . Hope these people life getting better in the future.
It is highly educative. Every one should learn to plant fruit bearing trees every where on both sides of roads and around the viilages and make India a fruit country for this all the young youths contribute their might. For information I love the nature, in all it's forms, I started to beg, bow, for the last about 50-60 when from I was a young boy many people must have taken interest, when I was traveling in that area it had no trees, baren; now after so many years I had a chance to travel in that area I came across the wonderful changes. I thank God.
One of the few farm visits I've seen where some of the tools used appear to be machine guns, I would think this particular area must be a very dangerous one for some reason.
sin lugar a dudas la solución del planeta tierra es dejar de extraer sus minerales y sembrar todos los días plantas, arbustos, arboles y perseverar por la protección del agua y de las semillas en todo el planeta tierra. Te amo Tierra, te amo paisaje de todos, pero que lamentablemente el planeta cada vez es mas es de nadie
Isnt this guy trying to take credit for some of the work started by Australian Tony Rinaudo in 1980~ who was THE FIRST to identify cutback on regrowth of old trees to boost new growth from deep root stock ? :(
Chris Reij, the presenter, is not trying to take credit for anything in this film. He is merely passing on his knowledge, and learning from indigenous farmers. He has known Tony Rinaudo for many years.
Also plant Tall spreading shadows various trees from the seeds flowers fruits of which get daily needs and income such as Ritha give soaps banyan peeple umber jackfruit( vegetarian 🍖meat),jamun mango dates Shalmali give cotton pilkhan maulashri Indian coral tree 🌳 ardu babool awala teak Shivan margosa coconut shammi cocum etc.
It might be even more successful to add women to the project cuz the women will reinvest the money into her family and her husband whereas the men will invest in a 2nd or 3rd wife

+Hussein Ali DNA doesn't work that way. Any human being can make the conscious decision to help another, as long as they are aware of their ability to do so. The fact that I haven't seen rich african people helping poor people do so, doesn't mean that it doesn't happen either. Although people such as Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela do come to mind. Another thing, Dr. Reij is not (by European standards) a rich man who does this work out of charity. This is his job. Though it is great that he has chosen a line of work which actually helps people. Most Europeans (most people in general) choose jobs that help themselves. I don't think you should generalize Africans and say they are all egoists. The African situation is a lot different from Europe, and I have met many Europeans who are a lot more egoistic than many African people that I have met.
+Hussein Ali the white man is just documenting about the program that was designed and implemented by an african, Yacouba, who reinstated an old african soil protection system called Zai. for more info on the program check "the man who stopped the desert"
This kind of torrid region need to apply first step on how too gather organic matter into the most less cost and highly effective way , is to plant cactus edible for ruminants and people . This plant don't need proper watering but absorb water from the atmosphere and it simply convert mineral sands into soft soil humus . The massive plantation of cactus will replinish the soil by grinding it and disperse it back to the utilizable land to invite more earthworms on reproduction that contribute soil turnover and other insects like ants and more animals to conduct harmonious relation on fertilizing and moistening the soil

Boy...I would hope and pray that all of Africa would implement these techniques!! What a huge help for drought and hunger!!

What is the method called in the first segment of the film where they dig the holes and plant in them?
it's called Zai.
Thanks. Jerry Pierini

why they are not growing chickpeas that's good crop for desert land we grow that in Indian desert land and gawar gum plants too many more crops
