🌱 Soil Health: A Vital Link to Healthy Oceans and Global Temperatures 🌊💧🌡️ Did you know that the health of oceans and water is directly connected to the well-being of soil? It's a critical link we often overlook! 🌎💙 Healthy oceans, marine life, and water rely on the health of our soil, as they are intricately connected through water systems. However, the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture can lead to a major problem – leaching. Sandy and thirsty soils are particularly exposed as water quickly washes fertilizers and pesticides through the soil in deep drainage, a process called leaching. When these chemicals are washed away by irrigation water, they find their way into rivers, lakes, groundwater, and eventually, the ocean. Excessive nutrient runoff triggers harmful algal blooms, depleting oxygen levels and harming marine life. Additionally, certain pesticides contribute to water acidification, further harming aquatic ecosystems and coral reefs. This not only disrupts delicate ecosystems but also affects our planet's thermal buffering function. ☀️🌊🌿 These changes impact the plankton communities that rely on nutrient-rich waters. As a result, the ocean's upper layer becomes more stratified, making it harder for essential nutrients to reach the surface where light is available for marine life. The consequence of this phenomenon is a shift in the phytoplankton communities, which play a crucial role in regulating ocean temperatures. As the ocean's surface warms due to climate change, the presence of certain phytoplankton changes. This alters the ocean's light absorption and scattering properties, ultimately impacting the ocean's thermal buffering function for global temperatures. 🌡️🌊 The consequences of ocean warming are significant and far-reaching, affecting weather patterns, sea levels, and marine life. Our planet's health depends on a delicate balance between soil, oceans, and atmosphere. But there's hope! 🌟 Innovations like Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) offer solutions. By improving soil health and water conservation, we can significantly reduce fertilizer and pesticide leaching. Reducing the loss of expensive agricultural inputs by improving the utilization of nutrients is good news for farmers' bottom line, the health of soil, plant life, oceans, and our planet. 🌱💦 Join Desert Control's mission to make earth green again, which protects life below water and ensures a resilient and sustainable future. Together, we can take action to preserve our planet's delicate balance. 🌎💚 #SoilHealth #WaterConservation #MarineLife #SustainableAgriculture#FromSandToHope #LNC #Innovation #AgTech #HealthyOceans#Ecosystems #ClimateAction #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange #Resilience#ClimateSmart #Sustainability #ProtectOurPlanet #ActNow

🔥 Feeling the Heat? Our Soil Is, Too! 🌱💧 As scorching heatwaves sweep across the globe, our soils are silently enduring extreme temperatures and drying out faster than ever. But did you know that these rising soil temperatures can have a massive impact on our environment and agriculture? 🌍🌾 Soil health is the backbone of life on earth, and while higher temperatures can be beneficial up to a certain point, excessive heat combined with droughts can disrupt the delicate balance beneath our feet. Just like us humans, soil organisms also have their limits – they thrive in warm temperatures but can struggle to survive when it gets too hot. 🌱🌡️ Extreme fluctuations in soil temperature are equally concerning. Imagine going from scorching heat to chilly weather in the blink of an eye – that's how our soil microorganisms feel during rapid temperature swings caused by every irrigation event on hot days. Just like us, they too need a stable environment to thrive. 🏠🌱 At Desert Control, we believe that innovative solutions can turn the tide and cool down our soil, leading to more resilient, sustainable, and profitable agriculture. Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) can be a game-changer for soil improvement and water conservation for the thirsty sandy soils that are the most exposed. 💧🌿 LNC's thermal buffering effect acts like a shield against extreme temperature changes. It transforms degraded land and sand into fertile soil while reducing water usage for agriculture, trees, and green ecosystems by up to 50 percent. 🏜️🌱 Just like us, plants and soil organisms enjoy a comfortable home with stable temperatures. LNC helps create an environment where soil temperature stays within an optimal range, promoting better growth and nutrient uptake for healthier plants. 🌿🌡️ Think of it like a stone house - as a solid stone house remains cooler during hot days and warmer during cold nights, LNC-treated soil's increased moisture levels become a buffer that helps regulate temperature fluctuations, creating a more stable environment for plant roots and microorganisms. 🏠🌱 Our soil deserves the best, and the impact of LNC's increased water retention ensures that plants stay better hydrated during scorching heat. This not only cools down the soil but also supports microbial activity that enhances nutrient availability and further enriches the soil ecosystem. 💦🌱 So, let's take a moment to care for the life beneath our feet – just like we seek ways to cool down during these hot summer days; our soil organisms also need relief from extreme temperatures. LNC can create a harmonious environment where plants, microorganisms, and soil thrive. 🌿💚 Join us on this mission to preserve our soil's vitality and ensure a greener, more sustainable future for agriculture and the environment. Together, we can significantly impact the world's soil health and combat the challenges posed by climate change. 💚🌱 #FromSandToHope #LNC #WaterConservation #SoilHealth #Agtech

It was inspiring to bring an underground matter to the surface in the "Soil Matters" issue briefing at World Economic Forum. Restoring soil, land, biodiversity, and natural ecosystems is vital for the prosperity of people and planet. Awareness is the first step, we must drive a shift in mindset and turn this into action. Soil is like a bank account; constant withdrawal without deposits is not sustainable - and we are in serious credit card debt to mother earth right now. But there is hope if we act now! https://www.youtube.com/live/Acb0lyoDPM0 We are grateful to World Economic Forum and UpLink for putting the global spotlight on this vital topic. Soil is the foundation for 95% of the food we eat and even the air we breathe. Its the foundation for life on earth!

https://www.desertcontrol.com/products-and-services Clay-rich soil can retain water and has high drought resilience. Mixing clay into the ground, however, is difficult. Desert Control invented a process to turn clay into a liquid nearly as thin as water. The solution is provided as a service and the patented process does not contain any chemicals. As part of the service Desert Control team will manage a turn-key delivery of soil treatment by spraying the compound onto the ground or applying it via irrigation systems across the affected land. Each clay type has unique properties and different soils require custom liquid compositions. Desert Control Mixing Units are therefore brought directly to the customer where we mix on site where the natural clay is turned into a liquid nearly as thin as water. The liquid compound creates a 40-60 centimeter deep layer, and gravity brings the tiny clay particles down into the ground. Sticking to each grain of sand, they form a soil structure that retains water like a sponge. This process turns degraded sand into fertile soil and reduce water usage with up to 50 percent. Through validation carried out by an independent research organization, a 47% reduction in water consumption has been documented in order to maintain optimal growth conditions for LNC-treated soil, better soil health, and crop yields in agriculture, which shows an increase from 17-62%. The technology is validated for both green landscapes and for agriculture. Desert Control solution and services can enhance the greening of urban areas with significantly water and cost savings. Especially in the Emirates, this is something that is very water-intensive to achieve. As in California, the water prices have risen sharply in recent years making it costly to retain urban areas green. The LNC treatment offers large savings on reduced water consumption in addition to several other benefits such as increased property values. The agriculture industry represents the single largest consumer of water in the world, accounting for ~70% of water withdrawals. Water challenges are therefore closely tied to food provisions and trade. Desert Control has documented that LNC reduces the consumption of water up to 50 % at the same time as crop yields up to 62%. HOW DESERT CONTROL WORKS Desert Controls solution is provided as a service to deliver turnkey implementations of soil ecosystem enhancement projects and land management practices.

Desert Control in collaboration with Limoneira Company to strengthen sustainability and prosperity for agriculture business in the U.S. Norwegian AgTech company Desert Control has developed a liquid natural clay (LNC) that restores and enhances soil ecosystems to reduce usage and improve efficiency of water, fertilizers, and natural resources for agriculture, forests, and green landscapes. Desert Control started operations in the United States in March 2022, initiating a validation study for LNC on American soil with the University of Arizona, and is now starting U.S. commercialization. Norway, 15 November 2022 – Desert Control (DSRT) signs contract with Limoneira Company (Nasdaq: LMNR) for LNC projects on Limoneira ranches in Arizona and California. The objective is to enable climate-smart and resilient agribusiness with optimal usage of water, fertilizers, and natural resources while optimizing yields and quality of citrus production in desert environments. The initial scope of the project is to apply Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) for 2,000 citrus trees at the Limoneira ranch in Cadiz, San Bernadino, California, and for 2,000 citrus trees at the Limoneira ranch in Yuma, Arizona, combined covering approximately 40 acres of land. The contract for LNC deployment for the two ranches is further backed by a letter of intent (LOI) to expand LNC deployment to applicable ranches starting with the Cadiz operations in the Mohave desert in California. The collaboration between Desert Control and Limoneira started in July 2022 with the deployment of LNC for a small pilot of 50 citrus trees at the Limoneira ranch in Yuma, Arizona. Positive indications for significant improvement of water use efficiency during the first months of the pilot is the driver behind the new contract. "Sustainability goes hand-in-hand with innovation. Limoneira discovers and practices environmental management methods that protect the health of the land and surrounding communities. The only way forward in our changing climate is to work with our natural systems to produce the finest, freshest citrus, fruits and avocados, says Edgar Gutierrez, Vice President of Farming Operations at Limoneira Company." Deployment for 2,000 trees at the Cadiz ranch is anticipated to complete during December 2022 and at the Yuma ranch during January 2023, allowing for key indicators to be measured over the growing season and evaluated after harvest in September – October 2023. Based on the successful outcome, it is anticipated that a large-scale roll-out for Limoneira ranches could start in Q4 2023 for the Cadiz ranch, with 800 acres of land and approximately 70,000 citrus trees under cultivation. The broader opportunity includes the Yuma ranch of 1,300 acres with approx. 120,000 trees and other applicable agribusiness operations of Limoneira. Limoneira Company, headquartered in Santa Paula, California, has grown to become one of the premier integrated agribusinesses in the world. Limoneira is a dedicated sustainability company with 15,400 acres of agricultural land and water rights in California, Arizona, Chile and Argentina. Sustainable land stewardship is at the heart of Limoneira's core practices. The objective of the project with Desert Control is to strengthen healthy soil systems, drive leadership on water stewardship, benefit biodiversity, and lower energy intensity. "We lead the agribusiness industry by example because we dare to innovate and expand our practices. The land teaches us how to be better stewards, how to adapt as conditions change in the economy, our industry, and the environment. Limoneira is committed to being a catalyst for positive change and we continue to view these challenges as an opportunity to create a better future, says Harold S. Edwards, President & CEO of Limoneira Company." The LNC project with Limoneira aims to demonstrate the capabilities of LNC to meet Limoneira's sustainability objective of improving water use efficiency in water-scarce areas by 37%, reducing energy intensity, and improving the efficiency of fertilizers and other inputs while increasing yields and crop quality. "This is a significant milestone for Desert Control, says President and Group CEO, Ole Kristian Sivertsen. The excellent collaboration between Limoneira and Desert Control creates a partnership of passionate people dedicated to solving the challenges of tomorrow – today. The contract with Limoneira further strengthens the foundation for an accelerated scale-up of our U.S. operations. We are proud to partner with Limoneira to create a leading example for climate-smart agribusiness that combines sustainability stewardship and profitability for the prosperity of business, nature, and our environment." Desert Control’s progress in the U.S. is moving much faster than first anticipated. In the United Arab Emirates, it took nearly four years of independent academic validation and pilots before commercial deliveries and market adoption in the UAE started in July this year. The company’s U.S. operation started in March this year with the launch of an academic validation study for LNC on American with the University of Arizona – and in less than a year, the first strategic contract is signed with an amazing flagship customer. The rapid progress in the U.S. receives significant tailwind thanks to academic validation initiatives and four years of hard work in the Middle East. The U.S. market is financially driven, and investments that yield increased profitability can happen fast. Extreme droughts and increasing regulatory restrictions on water consumption in states such as Arizona and California, further accelerates sense of urgency to implement solutions. For Limoneira, the macro drivers are essential and ensuring sustained profitability for the agriculture business is vital. At the same time, the company drives real action to foster sustainability with a genuine and passionate focus on soil health, water conservation, and reducing energy and fertilizer intensity while optimizing yields and fruit quality combined with proactive stewardship for land, nature, and our environment.
