Mattia Bertazzini What happens when you farm a desert? With Mattia Bertazzini

Parts of North Africa are surprisingly fertile, particular around Tunisia and Libya. In the case of the latter, Italy saw a great opportunity to join the colonial bandwagon in the early 20th century and learned that successful ventures require more than just state money. Mattia Bertazzini (Nottingham) joins Lloyd and Andrew to talk about the challenges faced by these farmers, and the local Libyans who were forced to live near them. https://doi.org/10.1111/ehr.13166
