Brazil Drylands: The Promise of Water

It's a phenomenon unknown to many, yet it threatens almost half of the world's land. It's called desertification and, left unchecked, its effects are disastrous. But in the drylands of Brazil, new hope is emerging and capturing the world's attention.

Hi I am from Nepal, an ecological anthropologist. My interested area of study are Biodiversity Conservation and Political Ecology of Poverty. My father in law is Brazilian farmer from Piaui. My wife wants me to manage the barren dryland farm of her father. I am thinking to plan Indian mangoes, teaks, Neems, and other Indian tropical fruits. I hope this video will help me to decide the things. Thanks.
