| Abstract | ||||
| Desert soilization is a novel strategy for transforming barren dry areas into vibrant, rich oases. This revolutionary process involves integrating organic matter, nutrients, and water-retaining technology to improve soil fertility in harsh desert conditions. Desert soilization seeks to overcome the obstacles posed by high aridity by implementing sustainable agriculture methods and utilizing cutting-edge technologies. The goal is to create profitable and sustainable ecosystems that promote biodiversity, support agriculture, and potentially mitigate desertification. The paradigm shift in land management holds promise for regions dealing with the effects of climate change and water scarcity. Egypt must use soilization techniques to convert barren land into productive land, improve soil fertility and boost sustainable agriculture. This approach is crucial for food security, biodiversity, and economic development in arid regions.
