In Kenya, an experiment aims to turn sand into fertile soil

What backs it

Soil microbiologist Su Kahumbu is using microorganisms, organic waste, and moisture-saving techniques to transform barren, sandy ground on a remote Kenyan island into fertile soil where trees and beans are now taking root; similar methods are also helping communities restore polluted soils in cities.

Worth noting

The experiment shows early results but scales remain limited to initial testing phases.
