The Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture announced an effort to reclaim approximately 1.5 million acres (607,028 ha) of marginal or desert lands for agricultural use. Egypt has undertaken similar strategies in the past with limited success. The country's agricultural lands are increasingly strained due to limited water resources and significant urban encroachment.
