World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought

_DSC1652

Healthy land is the foundation of any prosperous economy. Unfortunately, we are depleting this natural capital at an alarming rate.
Yet land restoration offers immense opportunities. It allows us to :

- Create decent jobs in rural areas
- Strengthen food and water security
- Support climate action
- Strengthen economic resilience

In Luxembourg, our development education work aims to raise public awareness of how the way we consume, eat, drink and dress has a direct impact on land use and degradation. At the same time, our agricultural development projects in Burkina Faso and Senegal take direct action on the ground. We are combating land degradation and drought by encouraging innovation and making the most of traditional local knowledge.

We have the power to bring land back to life. Restored land is a source of infinite opportunities. It's time to act now to unlock this potential. Please support us.
