Sunseed Desert Technology is a non-profit based in the semi-arid region of Almeria in Southern Spain – we have been here for over 26 years. We aim to develop, demonstrate and communicate technologies for low-impact living in semi-arid places. Our organization is fully run by volunteers, including staff and trustees, and we invite volunteers to come from all over the world to participate in activities ranging from working in organic gardens, to designing grey-water systems, to working with alternative technologies such as solar cooking and generating energy through micro-energy systems. We promote community living and help people get a taste of low-impact living by continually striving to lower our environmental and social foot-print.
