Land is a crucial foundation for life on this planet. Soil is the life-supporting link between the Earth's climate and biological diversity and provides a variety of different ecosystems that need to be restored and preserved. However, as an agricultural and industrial base, land is at risk of devastating overuse, with half of humanity already affected by the negative impacts of land degradation. Land, in all its meanings for our lives, must be put back at the centre of our agenda in order to curb the economic and social overexploitation of land resources. In order to raise public awareness of this important issue, the exhibition in cooperation with the UNCCD-G20 Global Land Initiative uses the latest media technology and combines exhibits from art, cultural history and natural science in order to understand the ecological problems and potentials of the human-influenced environments. Far from a dark vision of the future, the exhibition aims to focus on a positive narrative that inspires action for the common cause.
