What's going on in the Lab?
This living lab for multifunctional land management and collective stewardship advances every day thanks to the commitment of partner entities and active collaboration with local communities. Follow its updates to get an inside look at this transformative experience.
Acting in the territory
The Barbanza, besides being a space inhabited by a community, with their knowledge and logic of management, is also a geographical space. Through the Interactive Map we can understand the multiple layers in the interaction between society and territory and the changes that have taken place over the last few decades.
When we were sustainable, the book of the Laboratory
The first phase of the Barbanza Ecosocial Lab concluded with the publication of “When we were sustainable. Learning from Barbanza: shaping our future from our roots“, which brings together the conclusions of the first three years of the project’s work.
The book is available – in Galician, Spanish or English – both for online reading and for physical purchase at a non-profit price of 15€.
This amount allows us to cover production costs and to contribute 10€ for each copy sold to finance sustainable agricultural, livestock, forestry or cultural initiatives in Barbanza.
Recruitment platform
The Barbanza Ecosocial Lab foresees the contracting of different professional profiles by the participating forest communities, as well as the subcontracting of numerous forestry service packages.
