Cultural, Social and Economic Aspects for Greening of Surface Mining Landscapes

On the pages of Greening Deserts and in the entire concept, cultural, social, economic and scientific aspects of professional greening and research projects for mining, surface mining and post-mining landscapes are described. Important and additional points are summarized here.

• Agriculture, sustainable farming and agricultural forestation or agroforestry are important research fields
• Establishment and development of a professional network with experts in the fields of culture, business and science – especially in the field of nature conservation, sustainable greening, agriculture, forestry and greenhouse management
• Development and offer of an extensive sociocultural program with art and music, free of charge and paid
• Offer and sale of natural products (medicines and crops) and services, see concept and section ‘Services’

• Use and adaptation of conditions and properties of opencast mining deserts for realistic desert exploration, especially in the summer
• Continuous research and development of forms or techniques of greenhouse, forestry and agriculture
• Development and research of wind, water and solar systems within the framework of the research projects

Further points and extensive information on the topics are extensively described in the master plan “Concept and Study on Sustainable Greening Methods, Greenhouse Management, Forestry, Agriculture and Culture Industry for Surface Mining and Post-Mining Landscapes“.
