Author Biography
Enric Tello, PhD in Geography and Contemporary History, is full professor and Head of the Department of Economic History and Institutions at the University of Barcelona, where he leads a transdisciplinary research group working on social metabolism and landscape ecology of past and present agricultural or urban systems. This project intends to understand the main socio-ecological transitions experienced in history, and also to identify their driving forces or ruling agencies in order to get useful knowledge to foster new sustainability-oriented transitions in future. It also aims to recover some traditional knowledge useful to develop retro-innovations for organic agriculture, more sustainable cities, or better landscapes.
