About Desert Control AS 

Agriculture and food production consume more than 70% of all available
freshwater. When topsoil degrades, water consumption increases further as it
permeates through sandy soils like a sieve. Simultaneously, population growth
drives the need for more food over the next 40 years than was produced in the
last 500 years, putting even more pressure on scarce resources such as water.
This is the problem Desert Control is determined to solve. There are tremendous
growth opportunities in a market that is growing rapidly. Annually, 12 million
hectares of fertile land perish to desertification.

Desert Control is a climate technology company specialized in reclaiming
degraded soil and turning desert sand into fertile soil. The patented product
LNC (Liquid Natural Clay) is a liquid clay compound that enables sand and
degraded soil to retain water and nutrients. LNC thus increases crop yields,
while consumption of water and fertilizer decreases by up to 50%.
