Radio Zokoto welcomes Isabel Guevara Fernández, a researcher at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), for an interview about progress in the FOOD FOREST project.
Within the project, Isabel combines the study of ecological changes in the Artajona pilot with citizen science. This work brings natural processes and their connections with the territory and food systems closer to the wider community.
She also gathers the perspectives of stakeholders across the food system to identify opportunities, needs and barriers to implementing and scaling food forests and permaculture.
Isabel holds a degree in Architectural Studies and a master’s degree in Urban and Territorial Planning from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM). She is currently pursuing a PhD in Sustainability and Urban Regeneration at UPM.
Her doctoral research examines the relationship between rural depopulation and changes in the agri-food system in Valladolid, including their social and ecological impacts and the potential of sustainable food systems to revitalise rural areas.

FOOD FOREST is a European initiative creating and testing Community Food Forests as living spaces for regenerative food production, ecological restoration, education and social innovation.Through pilot sites in Artajona and Tallinn, partners from across Europe work with local communities to develop knowledge and models that can be replicated and scaled.
Connecting Community Food Forests, projects and practitioners across Europe.
welcomes collaboration with institutions, researchers, practitioners, communities and organisations working on regenerative landscapes, food systems and community-led innovation.
Rotary Forests supports FOOD FOREST as a Strategic Benefactor, contributing economic, technical, creative and infrastructure resources to the project and its digital platform.
