Jinta County in northwest China’s Gansu Province is tackling desertification with a bold new strategy: grass grids! This innovative project along the Jinhe highway aims to transform 550 hectares of arid land into stabilized, green spaces by 2024.
Local teams are combining artificial afforestation with crisscrossing grass grids – imagine a giant puzzle locking sand in place. The grids help retain moisture and prevent soil erosion, creating a foundation for future plant growth. It’s like nature’s own scaffolding!
This effort forms part of China’s broader ecological push, blending tech and tradition to fight expanding deserts. With young environmental engineers and local communities collaborating, the project shows how sustainable solutions can reshape landscapes – one grid at a time.
