Sand to Green Innovates Agroforestry in Morocco's Arid Regions
Sand to Green is applying agroforestry and desalination techniques to restore arid landscapes in Morocco. Their scalable model integrates advanced data management to enable productive ecosystems, addressing both environmental and economic challenges in desert agriculture.
Sand to Green, a Franco-Moroccan agritech startup, aims to revitalize degraded desert land through agroforestry and solar-powered desalination. Founded in 2022, the company utilizes a data-driven approach to manage water resources and soil health, crucial for agricultural productivity in arid environments.
Their three-part system includes desalinating seawater, improving soil with organic materials, and implementing a layered agroforestry model. Revenue is generated from high-value crops, consulting services, and carbon credits. With $1 million in seed funding and ongoing support from various accelerators, the project has the potential to transform desert landscapes while addressing the complexities of ecological and investment timelines.
