In this new issue, we discuss rural resilience with examples of energy sovereignty; and also food sovereignty, with the measures being developed to mitigate the effects of the current war in Ukraine on the primary sector. We discuss with José Bayón, CEO of the National Innovation Company, the financing possibilities his organization offers to rural businesses. We introduce the more social component of sustainability by discussing innovative projects in this field, such as SIMRA, and social economy enterprises, such as CEPES. Ana Polanco writes about the growing importance of biotechnology in the agricultural sector. We champion resources as close to the earth as truffles, chestnuts, and hazelnuts as drivers of development and food sovereignty. And we show the more human side of rural areas with a sample of the photographic work of Retrato Nómada.
