A holistic view on landscape restoration and community building with Helmy Abouleish, CEO of SEKEM.
The Middle East and North Africa are unstable – with conflicting waves hitting several countries at a scale so big that their effects are being felt worldwide, including Europe. Decades of unsustainable land- and water management together with global warming threatens people, landscapes and agriculture. That coupled with the migration crisis and massive population growth in major cities, is making the living context more than problematic. What can be done? What’s the plan to create a sustainable development, while restoring landscapes and building the community? A holistic approach is needed to ensure these regions have a truly sustainable future.
