Healthy soils are key for food security. But today, huge parts of our land are degraded. So restoring land will have a huge impact on food, soils, and livelihoods on the continent. How can we restore Africa’s degraded land? The new film of our Africa manager, Ina Neuberger Wilkie “It’s all about the landscape” is now launching at the 4p1000 Africa Symposium in Johannesburg.

The film explores good solutions in Tigray (Ethiopia), Jordan, Egypt and Namibia – solutions we identified in our 2017 Future Policy Award on Combating Desertification. We talk to our Councillors and experts Wanjira Mathai (Green Belt Movement), Luc Gnacadja (former UNCCD Executive Secretary) and Helmy Abouleish (CEO of Sekem). We also interview Dr. Hans Herren and Dr. Melaku Worede: Dr. Herren, Right Livelihood Award (“Alternative Nobel Prize”) Laureate and Member of the World Future Council. He is known for his biological pest control in Africa. Dr. Worede is received the Right Livelihood Award in 1989 and is a renowned Agronomy expert from Ethiopia.

We find that in Africa, it is all about the landscape.
