LYBIA 1953. Dune fixation using 'Saccharum aegyptiacum'
1953 (exact date unknown). Near Tripoli, Libya. In the foreground, experiments in dune fixation under the supervision of the FAO forestry expert using 'Saccharum aegyptiacum'. In the background, previous experiments are visible, accomplished in 1951-52 by private enterprise with various varieties of grass: the failure was due to an insufficient amount of material.

Background Information
Following the declaration of independence of Libya, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) sent a large mission of experts in agriculture, forestry, agricultural statistics and marketing.
Dune fixations and reforestation counted among the most important points of the FAO programme in Libya. An important part of the country was unsuited to any form of permanent cultivation, apart from afforestation.
