2025 Edition
Beneath the Ground, Life
What lies beneath our feet greatly impacts our existence on Earth. Today, the realization is clear: 70% of European soils are in poor health, eroded, polluted and exhausted by pesticides. So, how can we hope to capture carbon, prevent flooding or produce healthy food in the future? We invite you to imagine a world where soils, once again alive and resilient, enable us to cultivate a truly sustainable future. Join us for an atypical event, in the heart of a mineral space where life will seek to reclaim its rights.
