Greening the Desert

Theme Day at the Goetheanum

Making the Impossible Possible

As part of Culturescapes 2025 – Sahara, we present inspiring success stories from desert regions, showing how innovative and biodynamic agriculture is transforming arid lands into fertile soil and creating sustainable livelihoods in some of the world’s most challenging environments. Through a lively interaction between agriculture and the arts, we open up new, future-oriented perspectives.
