Today’s Solutions: April 04, 2025

Desertification is a problem in many parts of the world as a result of rising populations and intensive agriculture. Each year, 12 million hectares of land are lost. Enter the Desertscraper. The Desertscraper is a design for a solar-powered mobile skyscraper that restores healthy vegetation in man-made deserts and facilitates long-term growth of green areas. The skyscraper transplants greenery as it rolls along the skirts of a desert. The plants are grown in the adjacent in-house farm and are prepared in the form of “plant pot modules,” filled with compost and equipped with water supply system. Assembled along the internal circulation of the skyscraper, the modules are planted into the soil as the external belt comes in direct contact with the ground.
