    There could be a good opportunity to try and re plant the Sahara forests too, with climate changing. They say Sahara was green when the temperature was a bit higher around 10,000+ years ago, it supposedly dried out because of west winds bringing sand and pushing clouds away.

    Would this be a scalable solution to help mitigate climate change and to give room to wildlife?

    It’s fantastic that they can produce food, and I can see why also for political reasons food aid would be the first priority here. But it seems strange to me that companies never talk about this when they want to greenwash - replacing the Sahara with foreat seems like a potential game changer, and it seems to be something where money can really make an impact.
