Research Faces: Hans Joosten
Peatlands are his passion: Peatlands expert and paeleoecologist, Hans Joosten, chairholder at the University of Greifswald, carries out research into peatland areas that not only reveal a suprisingly diverse nature, but also play a very important role for our climate. He also speaks out and contributes towards establishing a different kind of agriculture that doesn't destroy these marshland areas.
This video was produced as part of an initiative from the Stifterverband in a project called The Makers of Tomorrow's World and their Visions for Education and Training, Research and Technology. A film by Damian W. Gorczaany and Stoyan Radoslav.
The film won the bronze award at the Gute Gestaltung 18 competition held by the Deutscher Designer Club in the category video.
