Taking Climate Action

The earthy crunch of tilled soil beneath your feet and the sight of sun-dappled fields welcome you to Yduns Have, an eco-farm nestled on the island of Samsø. As part of your three-day stay on this serene island, you explore the farm’s vibrant crops, pasture-raised chickens, and rolling fields, immersing yourself in a living example of sustainable agriculture. This peaceful setting offers a chance to slow down and connect with the land while discovering how farming can nourish both communities and the environment.

At Yduns Have, you’ll learn directly from passionate farmers about cultivating the land in harmony with nature. Together with your friends, you’ll pick ripe strawberries, help tend the soil, and care for animals like cows and hens. Each hands-on activity offers insight into the delicate balance of biodiversity and the innovative practices behind sustainable farming.

This experience fosters an understanding of how food systems can drive sustainability and inspires you to think critically about ecological solutions. You leave not only with dirt on your hands and stories to share but also with a fresh perspective on how you can shape a greener future.
