Quote by am: "Dec 9, 2024 Imagine transforming a desert into a thriving ecosystem in just a year. In Niger Africa, villages came together to plant 100,000 trees and spread 20 tons of grass seed across nearly five square miles of land. With rows of Half Moons capturing water and nurturing life, the land is coming back to life—grasses, trees, and even water are returning. Watch as a one-year-old restoration site evolves into an eight-year-old oasis, proving what’s possible with determination and care.

Giving some of the enormous areas we have destroyed into farmland back to nature has been something I've dreamed about for a little while. But I thought it was a very far off pipe dream. So it was pretty incredible to hear about Denmark actually doing this on the latest episode of @europeanspodcast.
Still, I don't know if I can celebrate yet, because one important issue was left untouched: How can they do this?
The UK's #NetZero strategy involves flat-rate per-area payments to convert agricultural land to woodland regardless of the suitability of the land for #TreePlanting.
A #UniversityofExeter study shows this is not only ineffective but could increase net emissions by incentivising subsidy uptake from lower productivity farms, frequently located on carbon rich soils where tree growth is poor & where drying soil could result in CO2 emission not sequestration.
