Sustainable food systems in Cardeudeu – The examples of the Phoenicurus Food Forest and La Fresca cooperative

In February 2025, the students of the Master’s Degree in Urban Resilience for Sustainability Transitions (UIC), accompanied by Juan del Río, visited Cardedeu to explore two inspiring initiatives:

  • The Phoenicurus food forest, a true biodiversity hotspot, home to more than 300 species
  • The La Fresca food cooperative, in which participate more than 200 families.

The visit allowed the students to learn about the core principles of permaculture, which respect natural rhythms and seasons while allowing the soil to regenerate. We also took the opportunity to broach the topic of the circular economy and its benefits for the city and its residents.
