Territorial ecosystem
The Biorrexión Cantábrica (Cantabrian Bioregion) does not start from zero. The territory has people, communities, initiatives, spaces, knowledge and networks already working on food, fishing, agroecology, culture, education, care, research and territorial regeneration.
The Biorrexión Cantábrica recognises and connects a living ecosystem of more than a hundred initiatives, organisations, companies, communities and projects. This directory helps to understand the capacities that already exist in the territory and to detect new possibilities for cooperation. An entity appearing on this map does not necessarily imply a formal collaboration with the Biorrexión.
