Jorge Cantellano

Coordinator, EdibleScapes Gardens

EdibleScapes Gardens Coordinator Jorge Cantellano is by trade a 3D CAD/CAM designer for fabrication, with extensive experience in boatbuilding fabrication and kit Car Manufacturers. By choice Jorge is also an agroecology urban gardener practician with 5 years of experience in conceiving, implementing and developing the Public Edible Landscape Gardens project “EdibleScapes”. Combining an edible forest garden with bio-intensive food grown in a living ecological garden makes this project an agroecological “permagarden”. Jorge gets an FAO certificate in "Agroecology, transition to sustainable food systems." “So, I have authoritatively certificated a new peasant. Under the concept of food sovereignty, peasants are (re)signified and attributed multiple meanings associated with the defence of territories, agroecological practices, small-scale production, local markets, the non-commodification of natural resources, resistance and struggle for access to land, the defence of ancestral seeds, the protection of common goods, sustainable production, and appropriate science and technologies.”

Urban Agriculture Forum is taking a break in 2025.
