Qatar is in a bid to to turn deserts into 'green' lands by converting them into pastoral space and dry lands into arable zones, The Peninsula has reported. Qatar's Ministry of Environment has recently inked an agreement with the Damascus-based Arab Center for the Studies of Arid Zone and Dry Lands (ACSAD) to help Qatar make this project a reality. ACSAD is a specialized Arab organization which works on developing scientific agricultural research in arid and semi-arid areas. ACSAD will also support Qatar to develop production of livestock, set up gene banks, re-charging of Qatar's fast depleting groundwater resources and growing multi-purpose drought-resistant plants.
