The Green Basket of Casas Blancas, Spain

“In the past, there was a school with 40 forty children in Casas Blancas, now there are just old people living here”. This is one of the reasons why Susana Romero began her project of ecological farming in Casas Blancas, Murcia (Southeast of Spain).

She worked for several years for the Chamber of Commerce of Murcia, living abroad in South Africa, Kenya, Cuba… and travelling to a lot to other countries she was sent. Those experiences gave her the opportunity to get in touch with other ways of life and different ways of thinking. The result of adding this knowledge to her worries and likes “Consumption, recycling, integration, sharing, learning…” was the beginning of that project in 2009.

Create a value from a so called “worthless activity”: ADEPT Organization from Romania

A sustainable vision (It all started with a vision!)

ADEPT’s mission is to protect the nature-rich, farmed landscapes of the Târnava Mare area of Transylvania, working with and supporting the small-scale farming communities that created them over centuries and who maintain them today. ADEPT aims to give these landscapes and communities an economic future in the 21st century without sacrificing their sustainability and productivity, which are in fact a model of wider significance in Europe.

Do you know that this habitat of wildflowers- rich grassland is almost completely lost in Western Europe?!

ADEPT’s vision is to give landscapes and communities an economic future through sustainable land use that increase long-term productivity and "the essential” innovation in technology as well as in holistic thinking (for instance creating new brands from local products, developing many tourism branches including scientific tourism and biking).
