Seed Bombing to Fight Desertification

[Hayen Mill]

SEED BOMBING ARTICLE

This new idea is called Seed Bombing, which involves a bomber aircraft and charges full of the Seed Capsules. Essentially the project involves artificial dispersal of seeds over arid areas where natural vegetation has lapsed due to man-made follies like deforestation leading to desertification. Each capsule contains artificial soil and seeds, and are air-dropped over the selected regions.

By being inside a biodegradable plastic, the artificial soil will provide the necessary conditions of moisture to the seed until it grows out to be a strong enough plant to sustain itself. As the plant matures, the plastic will be naturally degraded , leaving behind a new generation of plant in a former arid area.

Thoughts?

Is that followed by regular water and fertilizer bombing ?

haha no, the capsule itself contains water and fertilizer. It's just a way to try to adapt these plants to survive those hard desert conditions.
