Re-Greening the Future: In Conversation with ‘Forest Maker’ Tony Rinaudo

Online event of the @Bonnglobal series at Daring Cities 2020

The City of Bonn and the Right Livelihood College (RLC) Bonn cordially invite you to an online conversation with “Alternative Nobel Prize” Laureate Tony Rinaudo.

Date: Thursday, October 8, from 8:00-8:45 AM CEST via Zoom

Australian agronomist Tony Rinaudo, who received the “Alternative Nobel Prize”, the Right Livelihood Award, in 2018, is known as the ‘forest maker’. He developed the farmer-managed natural regeneration (FMNR) method which has helped to re-green large parts of the Sahel region, 50,000 km2 of land with over 200 million trees in Niger alone. But FMNR is far more than an agricultural technique: it has also inspired farmer-led movements to re-green land throughout Africa.

This event invites audiences to not only learn more about Tony’s work, but also to actively engage in the conversation with him and other experts.
