This comprehensive book delves into the vast economic potential of natural resources found in the Egyptian deserts, with a focus on addressing the food gap in the country. Given the arid or hyperarid climatic conditions that prevail across the entire nation, only a small portion (3% of the total area) is agriculturally productive, with the dominant deserts accounting for this limited productivity. This reality, coupled with a growing population of approximately 100 million citizens and the scarcity of water resources, has resulted in severe adverse effects on the utilization of natural resources.
To address the critical challenges posed by desert soil, the book offers innovative methods for tackling issues such as soil erosion, salinity, pollution, decreased fertility, minerals, weed and pest control. Its primary objective is to assist authorities in reclaiming the desert and optimizing the utilization of minerals and available natural resources to support the sustainability agenda 2030. Furthermore, it provides valuable guidance to researchers on remaining gaps and future research directions.
In addition to its theoretical insights, the book offers a wealth of practical information on investment opportunities in desert cultivation, particularly in the fields of food, fodder, and medicinal plants. It sheds light on the potential for sustainable agriculture, livestock breeding, and resource management in these arid environments, highlighting the economic and environmental benefits that can be achieved through innovative practices.
Overall, this book serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders interested in exploring the economic potential of natural resources in the Egyptian deserts and developing sustainable solutions to address the country's food gap and promote sustainable development.
