Background
Jordan finds itself at the forefront of the humanitarian-development-environment nexus, with
rising unemployment and stagnating economic growth, compounded by significant
environmental challenges, including water scarcity and desertification. In 2019, unemployment
stood at 19.1% (World Bank, 2019) but is expected to be much higher due to the impact of COVID19. The past decades have seen sustainable arid land management becoming a major challenge,
as desertification is increasingly threatening the ecosystems. While the environmental and
humanitarian challenges have impeded economic development, leveraging these challenges into
growth opportunities is a priority for the government.
To maintain environmental balance and support sustainable development, the land at risk of
desertification needs to be managed regeneratively and transformed in to a system that can
support ecological restoration, buffer communities from climate and environmental extremes
such as drought and flood, while also providing a stable basis for local livelihoods and economic
health. The risks of further climate and weather extremes due to and ecological degradation and
desertification for the agricultural sector are a particularly immediate and acute problem because
a large proportion of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for
their livelihoods. Moreover, desertification has affected agricultural production and food quality
because of depletion of fertile soils, disruption of local hydrological cycles, increased salinity of
soils and water resources, and rising temperatures, and poor agricultural practices including use
of chemicals that decrease crop health and yields.
While human activities constitute the primary reason for environmental degradation, the
restoration of ecological health and local agro-ecosystems through permaculture-based design
and agroecology/agroforestry can return this land in to fertile, vital food and crop systems that
help to repair damaged landscapes. The establishment of a model of a regenerative food sand
forestry system with green infrastructure can be an effective solution for combating
desertification, r
