Desert Control - Company Profile

Desert Control is a company focused on climate-smart agri-tech solutions, combating desertification, soil degradation, and water scarcity. Through its patented Liquid Natural Clay (LNC), it aims to restore and protect soil, significantly reducing water usage for agriculture, forests, and green landscapes. LNC's ability to enable sand and degraded soil to retain water and nutrients results in increased crop yields, biomass production, and carbon uptake, while reducing water and fertilizer consumption by up to 50%. Founded in 2017, the company operates in the Agriculture, Biotechnology, Sustainability, and AgriTech sectors, with its headquarters in the United States. The company's recent progress includes a Grant investment received on 19 December 2024 from the WFP Innovation Accelerator. Desert Control's vision to "Make Earth Green Again" is timely and impactful, considering that 12 million hectares of productive land are lost annually due to desertification and drought. By 2025, an estimated 1.8 billion people will suffer absolute water scarcity, and 2/3 of the world will experience water-stressed conditions. Moreover, the potential for restoring the soils of degraded ecosystems to store up to 3 billion tons of CO2 annually underscores the significant environmental benefits of the company's work. Desert Control's efforts align with addressing critical global challenges, such as mitigating climate change impacts, reducing world hunger, and poverty through sustainable land and water use, and fostering global economic growth. The innovative approach and potential for global scalability make Desert Control a compelling investment opportunity for venture capitalists seeking impactful solutions within the sustainability and agri-tech space.
