OUR DREAM
Our dream is to make the world's deserts green. To help the world deal with 9 billion people in the most productive way, by providing beyond sustainable agroforestry fields build in deserts, by providing sustainable housing and sustainable energy.
FACTS
Did you know that each year we lose 12 million hectares of arable land to desertification (23 hectares/minute)! On top of that 70% of the world's dams face dam siltation problems in the next decade, estimated costs are 21 billion $ per year. Can these huge problems be solved at the same time?
SOLUTION
After four years of intense PhD studies at the Technical University of Vienna we now know that we can solve both of these issues simultaneously allowing investors, governments and dam officials in the arid regions to benefit from keeping the lakes clean by using our beyond sustainable transportation system.
ROAD TO OASES
We are a team of four dedicated people with a board of inspiring mentors, all with one focus of implementing this solution for the first time. We need partners from governments, industrial partners, financing institutions and willing farmers.
🌱 Introducing the European Mission: A Soil Deal for Europe
Healthy soils are vital for sustaining our planet and society. Yet, 60-70% of Europe’s soils face degradation, impacting ecosystem services, accelerating climate challenges, and causing significant economic and environmental consequences.
The Soil Deal for Europe aims to reverse this trend by 2030 through:
✔️ 100 living labs and lighthouses to lead the transition.
✔️ Ambitious research, innovation, and soil restoration measures.
✔️ Enhanced soil literacy and societal engagement.

🌱 Join our partners at #UNCCD COP16 in #Riyadh – A Unique Opportunity for Collaboration! 🌱
At Afforest for Future, we are incredibly excited to see our partners coming together for an impactful session at the UNCCD COP16 in Riyadh! 🌍 We have been fortunate to collaborate with Tristano Bacchetti De Gregoris from SAE Innova, Economy of Love , and SEKEM Group on various projects, and now they will be on the same panel discussing "Connecting Science to Practice –Engaging Rural Communities to Take Action Against Desertification".
How amazing is that?
The side event, organized by Rural Loop and Ricardo Beck, will bring together experts from across the globe to accelerate land restoration, promote climate resilience, and empower rural communities in fighting #desertification. It’s thrilling to see these trailblazers in action!
We are so proud to be part of this global effort to create lasting environmental change. It’s an honor to work alongside these visionary leaders and organizations, all of whom are pushing the boundaries of what is possible for a sustainable future!

🎙 Have you listened to our second #RootedToEarth episode ft. Vesela Tanaskovic Gassner (Afforest for Future)?
👉 "Most people think of deserts as lifeless," she says, "but these ecosystems hold unique biodiversity that is deeply affected by climate change and human activities.", she said.
Her work emphasizes the crucial role of knowledge transfer—bridging scientific research with practical, local application. Vesela is dedicated to educating communities on the value of native species and their roles in the ecosystem, which has the potential to restore biodiversity and revitalize degraded land. 🌾

⛵🫒🌊☀️🥗The second day of the GOV4ALL General Assembly in Guadix coincides with #MediterraneanDay.
In GOV4ALL, partners from across the Med (🇪🇸, 🇫🇷, 🇬🇷) are coming together to work towards sustainable soil health practices that bring benefits to local communities and inspire rural regeneration and innovation.
We envision a Mediterranean region where people, nature and soil thrive.
Where communities are inspired.
Where ecosystems blossom.
Where sustainable businesses flourish.
🎥 Video Recap
🎤 At the 2nd General Assembly of the GOV4ALL Project, the SAE Innova team went around some of the partners to get their perspective on how project activities can have an impact in their respective Mediterranean territories.
