DESERT - IFIC AT I O N
Conclusion
Tested with results around different countries.
Still in pilot project phase, but revegetation is one of the main activities
Not really focus on combating desertification
Using conventional method to combat desertification
Non-electrical device, but mostly plastic in materiality
Solar powered, but industrial material
Solar powered, but industrial material
Without power plans but using local, simple materials: bamboo, masonry etc.
Little impact
Might have great impact on the topography, soil structure, nature element
Direct impact on nature, & mirror solar panel incinerate birds frequently.
Minimum impact on environment, small-scale
Not related to local residences
Produce basic need such as food, biomass, salt but not quite related to social issues
Basically provides food only.
Provides solution to local settlement's issue: poverty, education, infrastructure
Little
Local community are involved according to the strategy
Mostly highskilled workers
Directly involved with local residents
Training require professional skills
SFP facilities provides employment for both highand low-skilled workers.
Not explained in strategies
Training relatively simple to be carried out, adopted by local communities
Mass produce device only
Resource recycle process and system clearly explained
Conventional feasible
Not very stable
Non-electrical device, low maintenance
High maintenance
High maintenance
Low maintenance
Medium, slightly high
High initial cost
High initial cost
Affordable
Could be adopted in programme and production, shallow impact to earth
Good production system cycle in various process with different outcome
Not to make great initial impact but gradually develop
Adoption of local material, light structure to minimize impact on nature
