Description

A contribution by Jurriaan Cooiman

Ever larger parts of the earth are drying out in the course of climate change – and yet green oases, habitats and thus also future prospects can arise in the middle of the desert. How this succeeds was shown by the theme day “Greening the Desert”, which took place on 29 October 2025 at the Goetheanum with 100 participants. A cooperation of Culturescapes Sahara 2025, SEKEM, Agroecology Works and the Section for Agriculture brought practice, research, business and art to one table – a new format that opened horizons and awakened hope.

A contribution by Jurriaan Cooiman to the theme day “Greening the Desert” in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
