    The Sahara Forest Project aims to address challenges of sustainable water, energy, and food production through an integrated system using seawater greenhouses, concentrated solar power, and reforestation. This synergy of proven technologies will allow for profitable production of freshwater, biomass, biofuels, and electricity under sunny desert conditions. An expert team will first establish a demonstration center to test innovations, investigate new crops, and pave the way for large-scale deployment across the Sahara.
