About

Semilla Besada is the only research conservation farm in Europe, using Holistic Management® for sustainable land stewardship in brittle landscapes.
 
Seventy per-cent of the world’s landmass is brittle, and it is these areas that are desertifying at a staggering 16,000 hectares (39, 520 acres) a day*. The Mediterranean is such a landscape, and yet certain pivotal insights that are successfully reversing desertification in Africa, Australia and America are unknown here.

For the first time in Europe, Semilla Besada is using this knowledge to faciliate sustainable land stewardship in brittle landscapes. (* – UN statistics)
