Description

A contribution by Buthaina Elhosieny

Buthaina Elhosieny presents the “Economy of Love”: a holistic economy that connects people, soil and community. In Egypt, smallholder farmers are trained in regenerative, biodynamic agriculture. They receive knowledge, preparations, agroforestry, certification and carbon credits. Women receive workshops and microcredits. A training academy, technical engineers, learning videos, health services and a fund strengthen resilience and community in the desert. More than 35,000 farmers are involved; in the long term the aim is 40,000.

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