Global Ecovillage Network/Solution Library/Sunseed desert project
Description
Sunseed was first conceived in 1982 during a talk at a green festival by Harry Hart, co-founder of the charity Green Deserts. In August 1986, having rented a house in arid Southeast Spain, a small joint project began looking at practical ways of combating desertification. In March 1987 Green Deserts withdrew and Sunseed Desert Technology and The Sunseed Trust were inaugurated to direct the project.
Today a lively international community has developed around the project and as well as living an low impact off grid life they share their experiences through courses and workshops and volunteers are welcome to join them for a modest charge to coveer food and accommodation..
