What emerged was not alignment, but a shared recognition that we are all “halfway”, aware of each other, willing to collaborate, but still struggling to connect in w…

Rather than treating soil degradation, erosion and land abandonment as isolated problems, the project brings these actors into a shared structure designed to enable real collaboration. A key dimension of this approach is the integration of ecological knowledge with emerging technologies, such as s…
