After
success
in
the
UAE,
the
imprinting
process
will
hopefully
be
extended
to
include
other
nations
of
the
Arabian
Peninsula,
as
well
as Africa, India, and China.
Unfortunately,
transfer
of
new
technology
is
usually
a
very
slow
process.
Although
imprinting
was
invented
in
1976,
it
has
taken
34
years
for
the
transfer
of
this
technology
to
begin
on
a
large scale.

LAND IMPRINTING IN THE UAE
Robert M. Dixon
The
Imprinting
Foundation
is
currently
transferring
its
imprinting
technology
to
the
UAE
in
a
massive
project
covering
several
thousand
acres
of
degraded
desert
land.
An
imprinting
air
seeder
developed
in
Vienna,
Austria
will
be
at
the
heart
of
the
project
to
begin
just
a
few
days after this essay is dated. A mix of the following species are to be air seeded.

Annual

a

which
was

to
