Explanation:

Jordan has launched Sahara forest project, which will use innovative technology to produce food using, sun and sea water, in a bid to turn the desert land into a flourishing farmland.
The SFP is centred around the core technologies of saltwater-cooled greenhouses, concentrated solar power, and desert revegetation practices.
The Norwegian government and European Union are the two biggest donors to the project.
The project aims to produce 130 tons of organic vegetables per year and 10,000 litres of fresh water per day in the water-poor nation.
