Description

A contribution by Ueli Hurter

Can greening the desert change the microclimate and even, in the long term, encourage rainfall? On the farms, the first changes are already visible: a million trees are creating new habitat – and even in summer there is dew on the plants in the morning.

A contribution by Ueli Hurter for the theme day “Greening the Desert” in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
