TIERRIS - Environmental Transformation at Scale

Fighting Desertification: Reversing the Tide

The Challenge We Face

Every year, the GCC loses thousands of hectares to advancing deserts. In Saudi Arabia alone, 5,000 hectares of arable land disappear annually. With only 600m² of arable land per capita - the size of a penthouse apartment - every meter matters.

The Tierris Solution

Strategic Intervention - First Principal Approach: Soil, Water and Climate

We focus on Soil first - transforming sandy and arid lands into agricultural land suitable for industrial tree farming.

1. Soil Transformation First

TIERRIS GENESIS™ converts sand into living soil

Microbial ecosystems established before planting

30% reduction in water use achieved

2. Strategic Species Selection

A combination of phytoremedial plants, culturally valuable species, and economically viable crops creates the ecosystem that supports transformation:

Phytoremedial plants selected to absorb heavy metals that may be present in soil or introduced through sewage sludge treatment

Culturally valuable plants (Damascus Roses, Ghaf Trees, etc.)

Economically viable species (Jatropha for biofuel, Capers)

Indigenous species (Sidr Trees, Ghaf Trees) supporting biodiversity

3. Advanced Execution and Monitoring

Drone swarms for tree planting

Highly automated agricultural systems for pest control

Ultrasonic animal repellent systems (no walls needed!)

Satellite tracking and AI optimization

Proven Results

Al Madam Demonstration Site

Before: Abandoned land, pH 8.9, <0.2% organic matter
After 90 days: Successful cultivation, 4x organic matter increase
Crops grown: Barley, millet, oats, Ponicum
Water saved: 30% reduction in irrigation needs

Impact at Scale

Per 1,000 Hectares Transformed:

Carbon captured: 50,000+ tons CO₂ annually
Water saved: 2.4 million m³ per year
Jobs created: 50 direct, 150 indirect
Food production: 4,200 tons of crops annually
