The women cultivatint Barcelona's future
In a traditionally male-dominated sector, more and more women farmers are leading agricultural operations and promoting more sustainable farming models, rooted in the land and adapted to the challenges of the 21st century. The book 'Farming Barcelona' collects the stories of 16 of them.
