Wadi Rum Consultancy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wadi Rum Consultancy of Wadi Rum Organic Farms,^[1] is an example of desert greening.^[2]^[3] Begun in 2010, it is located in historic Wadi Rum, in southern Jordan. Overseen by permaculture expert Geoff Lawton, it has established a sustainable agriculture system.

The program has achieved success, primarily, by implementing principles of hydrological and permacultural design.^[4]^[5]^[6] The results of the consultancy have been documented in photographs, as well as in several videos.^[7]^[8]
