Presentation
Summary
Ulan Buh Desert is a success story of turning a desert into green belt in a grand scale. It embraces the concept of circular economy and zero-wastes eco-agri businesses that involves civic voluntary groups, local farmers and state officials with investment in renewable resources. Homeland Green participated in study tours and tree planting expeditions in the area. It is our observation that such project only works if it benefits all stakeholders in the economic chain.

2.Solidarity - Twin-Regions
The twin regions concept aims to optimize the use of resources to address the global climate crisis and other pressing issues by promoting international solidarity and massive, empowered, self-reliant and equitable citizen participation. A Twin-Region is a pair of communities that are complementary in terms of green house gas emissions and sequestration potential. They pool their recourses and collaborate in order to become carbon neutral and to solve other pressing environmental and societal issues, such as biodiversity loss and migration.

Pros and cons
The concept is interesting.
Pros:
- once twin-regions are identified, the regions would be held accountable.
Cons:
- Viable methods are required to measure the carbon credit produced and consumed.

3. Ecological footprint
Status
We collect from local businesses ( soy milk producers, Chinese herbal drink factory, landscape companies) for the organic waste in their production as the inputs for organic compost production. This is used in our RF Farm projects.
Perspective
- conduct educational talks to targeted audience to raise interests.
- Proactive recruitment of youth interested in regenerative farming and desertification project
- increase outreach to local and international groups to nurture cooperation and collaborations
- Raise financial supports from commercial sector.
