The specific case concerning the flooding suffered by the southern agricultural region of Valencia is of great current and research importance, and he believes that addressing participatory regenerative approaches from an academic perspective is a process of the utmost relevance.

Her research focuses on rural settlements through urban planning instruments. '''Motivation for LoLa''': Sandra's motivation to participate in the LOLA project is to incorporate systems thinking into my teaching practice on urbanism. I often observe students’ difficulties in translating territorial information into coherent project proposals. LOLA offers an opportunity to explore teaching methodologies that strengthen systemic landscape understanding through project-based learning in real contexts.

File:Roxana Triboi portrait.jpg\|'''Roxana Triboi, Team Member''': Roxana Maria Triboi is an architect and urban planner (PhD), researcher and educator working at the intersection of research, public policy and community practice. Her work explores food as a commons, connecting the right to food with collective stewardship of land and the social infrastructures that sustain everyday life. She focuses on how agroecological urbanism and participatory governance can strengthen communities' capacity to shape their food systems. She combines policy work as an external expert for the Urban Agenda for the EU Food Partnership with practical experimentation through ROOTED, the Horizon Europe project that investigates landed community kitchens as infrastructures of care, solidarity and access to food, connecting urban communities with agroecological producers. At LE:NOTRE Institute, she co-coordinated Erasmus+ AESOP4Food and continues to contribute to its international teaching network. A steering committee member of the AESOP Sustainable Food Planning Group, she brings research on urban pastoralism and food commons into education, helping students connect questions of land, power and collective responsibility with concrete planning choices.
