What is the Lab?

Find out more about this collaborative and multidisciplinary initiative that works together with local communities to promote a transition towards environmental sustainability and increase resilience in the territorial management of the Barbanza region.

The Barbanza region, a reality to be studied

What are the logics in the management of the territory? What is the community? How does society relate to the territory? What knowledge can we extract to work towards an eco-social transition? These and other questions will be unravelled through the research.

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.
