Living networks
We envision a world where regenerative communities thrive, and where humans and nature co-create ecosystems that sustain biodiversity, cultural heritage, and food sovereignty. Our mission is to facilitate the agroecological transition by aligning research, education, policy, and community action. Through the cultivation of eco-literacy and ecological consciousness, we foster living networks that reimagine food systems as ecosystems of care, reciprocity, and resilience.
A holistic approach to agroecological transition
Agroecology for Communities
Agroecology for Communities
We envision territories where ecological regeneration and social well-being are mutually reinforcing. In these territories, agroecology sustains biodiversity, soil, and water while supporting dignified livelihoods, local food systems, and cultural continuity. Food is understood not as a commodity, but as a shared responsibility that connects ecosystems, communities, and future generations.
Communities for Nature
Communities for Nature
Our approach recognizes that the rights of nature can only be realized through the renewal of our communal bonds and the shared responsibility of care. Through participatory governance, education, and collective action, we aim to restore our resources as living commons, where ecological regeneration and community regeneration are inseparable.
Co-creating regenerative communities
Regenerative communities are living systems. In Terrae Vivae, regeneration is the ongoing renewal of relationships between people, cultures, and ecosystems, human and more-than-human, through shared practice, shared learning, and shared responsibility.
Advance agroecological transition through farmer schools
We develop and test agroecological practices in real-world settings, combining scientific knowledge with traditional and local wisdom to co-create place-sensitive solutions.
Strengthen food systems and local economies
We support local food networks in rural and periruban areas, facilitate the creation of biodistricts, and ethical value chains that prioritize ecological integrity, fair livelihoods, and food sovereignty.
Grow eco-literacy
We cultivate ecological consciousness through experiential, land-based and place-based learning, so education becomes an embodied practice of stewardship and responsibility.
Build enabling policy environments
We work with communities and policymakers to promote governance structures and policies that protect biodiversity, farmer autonomy, and resilient food systems.

Ecoliteracy: a path to bottom-up tranisition in food systems
The concept of Ecoliteracy as a building block of agroecological tranisition is deeply anchored in our vision. Creating abilitating environments, where communities come together to share and evlove knowledge in horizontal ways is the foundation of food sovereignty. Ecoliteracy fosters ecological consciousness and community empowerment through immersive, place-based learning. By bridging ancestral knowledge with modern ecological insights, Ecoculturae cultivates communities that embody a new paradigm of stewardship, kinship, and ecological justice.
Terrae Vivae
Executive Report (I Semester 2025)
This illustrated executive report presents the first results of the Terrae Vivae programme, a community-based initiative promoting agroecology, biodiversity stewardship, and regenerative education. Through participatory learning, field activities, and collaboration with farmers and educators, the project reconnects young people with their territories and food systems. The report highlights educational pathways, public events, and advocacy efforts that support food sovereignty and ecological resilience, while showcasing how local experiences can contribute to broader national and international movements for sustainable agriculture.
