into a liquid that can reverse desertification, rehabilitate degraded soils, and
reduce water consumption for green ecosystems. External scientific validation
carried out by independent research organizations document water savings of up
to 50%, improved soil health, and increased yields.

CEO of Desert Control, Ole Kristian Sivertsen, was in Berlin to receive the
award:

- We are honoured to be recognized as a green innovator and sustainable
changemaker. And more importantly, we are grateful that the Greentech Festival
is putting the global spotlight on the importance of combating desertification,
soil degradation, droughts, and water scarcity.

- Huge thanks to all our team members, co-founders, investors, partners, and

About Desert Control AS

Agriculture and food production consume more than 70% of all available
freshwater. When topsoil degrades, water consumption increases further as it
permeates through sandy soils like a sieve. Simultaneously, population growth
drives the need for more food over the next 40 years than was produced in the
last 500 years, putting even more pressure on scarce resources such as water.
This is the problem Desert Control is determined to solve. There are tremendous
growth opportunities in a market that is growing rapidly. Annually, 12 million
hectares of fertile land perish to desertification.

Desert Control is a climate technology company specialized in reclaiming
degraded soil and turning desert sand into fertile soil. The patented product
LNC (Liquid Natural Clay) is a liquid clay compound that enables sand and
degraded soil to retain water and nutrients. LNC thus increases crop yields,
while consumption of water and fertilizer decreases by up to 50%.
