cyclodextrin Technology, a bioremediation technology utilizing a special carbohydrate (sugar), cyclodextrin (more exactly random methylated beta-cyclodextrin) for improving the bioavailablitity of the organic contaminants in the soil. The effect of cyclodextrin is based on solubilization, mobilization of the contaminants, which are desorbed from the soil and get to the microbes to be degraded by them. The technology can be implemented either ex situ (after removing the soil from its original place) or in situ (without removing the soil). The time saving by the cyclodextrin-intensified bioremediation may compensate for the higher price of the technology. Further details can be found in MOKKA database (sheets No. 51 and 175).

UNCCD

United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification

The objective of the Convention is to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought in countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa, through effective action at all levels, supported by international cooperation and partnership arrangements, in the framework of an integrated approach which is consistent with Agenda 21, with a view to contributing to the achievement of sustainable development in affected areas.

Achieving this objective will involve long-term integrated strategies that focus simultaneously, in affected areas, on improved productivity of land, and the rehabilitation, conservation and sustainable management of land and water resources, leading to improved living conditions, in particular at the community level.
