Sandnes, 16 March 2023 – Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) from Desert Control (DSRT)
receives official approval and certification for organic farming from the
Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technologies (MoIAT), in consultation with the
Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE). This recognition marks a significant milestone for the innovative
solution that enables resilient and climate-smart agriculture and desert farming
in a drying world.
The organic certification validates the effectiveness and safety of LNC as a
solution for organic farming. The certification ensures that LNC meets strict
standards for the manufacturing process and raw materials, including the absence
of synthetic chemicals and harmful substances.
"We are honored and proud to receive official recognition and certification from
the UAE Ministry," said Ole Kristian Sivertsen, President and Group CEO of
Desert Control. "This certification confirms that LNC also is a safe and
effective solution to help farmers grow certified organic crops sustainably and
to regenerate green ecosystems for the organic farming sector. Healthy soil
leads to a healthy planet growing healthy food that fosters healthy and happy
people."
The certification of LNC for organic farming is a significant achievement for
Desert Control, as it opens up new markets and opportunities for the company.
With this certification, Desert Control and its strategic partner Mawarid Desert
Control (MDC), can expand its reach to a wider range of farmers seeking
sustainable and organic solutions for their farms and agribusinesses.
Mawarid Desert Control LLC was also recently announced winner of the Research
and Innovation award for the start-up category by the UAE Ministry of Energy and
Infrastructure (MoEI). "We are confident that the winning solutions will advance
our sustainability agenda," said His Excellency Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei,
Minister of Energy and Infrastructure. "This year's edition comes at a critical
time, as we gear up to host the 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28)."
LNC is a nature-based solution of natural minerals and clay that transforms
desert sand into fertile soil. It coats each grain of sand with an electrical
charge that holds onto water like a magnetic force, creating a soil structure
that retains water and nutrients like a sponge. As a result, LNC enables plants
to thrive in deserts and arid environments, reduces water consumption, and
promotes soil health and biodiversity. LNC enables sustainable desert farming
and saves up to 50% on water and energy use while improving nutrient efficiency,
crop yields, and food quality.
Desert Control is committed to creating sustainable solutions for agriculture
and ecosystem regeneration. With LNC, the company has developed a revolutionary
solution to help farmers and landowners grow crops and regenerate green
ecosystems in a drying world.
