Hydrological design (rainwater management in the vineyard)
Once we have the necessary security to continue our work in the vineyard long-term, the fundamental step for successful production and ecosystem restoration is the capture and management of available water.
We are designing effective methods to use and manage exceptional rainfall, working within our limits to be resilient in the face of droughts and ensuring irrigation systems for the first three years of the productive species that are not grown from seed.
With investments from Boodaville we already have the costs of creating the design covered with consultants La Casa Integral, and with this campaign we are going implement that design!

Buy the vineyard
With the optimal amount, the Boodaville Association can buy the vineyard outright and all our future income can be allocated directly to the development of the agroforestry project in 2027.

Buy land for the nursery, community garden and shop
The perfect land is available in the village of Caseres.
With access to the land secured, we can work with our available resources to implement the seed garden and the nursery.
We already have neighbors donating seeds, volunteers to start the vegetable garden, and carpenters willing to offer their time for free to build the shop structures.
The necessary permits can be covered with our operating expenses budget, and the town council already supports our plans. The nursery will be built initially with recycled materials and, later, with the funds generated by our income.

Our current food system is constantly exhausting Earth's precious water reserves, degrading the soil and bringing nature to a breaking point — but it doesn't have to be this way.
What if growing food could heal the land, strengthen the community and create viable livelihoods — all at the same time?
Rovira Regenerativa was created to demonstrate that this is possible
Regenerating the land and transforming lives
What we are building in Vall Rovira and Caseres is much more than a farm. It is a living system with the potential to:
The project emerged from the work of the Boodaville Association and the desire to apply permaculture on a larger scale in Vall Rovira to create and share a farm of the future. We are 5 people coordinating an active network of collaborators in the region, as well as an international community.
Everything we do is better when it is shared
A farm that restores
The vineyard is currently under a land-use agreement with the Boodaville Association. Since 2023 we have been implementing an agroforestry design — 8 hectares of vineyards, forest and almond trees — in a semi-arid Mediterranean climate. We combine trees and crops, improve soil health and adapt through observation with the support of local farmers and experts in regenerative agriculture. We have introduced more than 1000 young trees, enriching the soil with:
Manure from neighbors' "Spanish Mustang" horses, totally chemical-free
Biochar, produced on the farm itself
Wild seed mixes designed by ecologists
We produce grapes, olives, figs and herbs with plans to expand to nuts, berries, perennial vegetables and eggs.
After two harvests, we have produced 1000 bottles of natural wine with a local winemaker and we are ready to evolve this production in the coming years.
We inspire visitors
More than 1500 people from 30 countries have already participated in Boodaville's activities, which have always sought to inspire and change paradigms. In addition to permaculture courses and volunteering, for two years we have been generating income by organizing "Regenerative Weekends" — practical learning experiences where visitors work alongside us with external facilitators, and build connections within our broad social network of permaculture and regeneration. Book your Regenerative Weekend as a reward for your generous contribution!
Connection and opportunities for local people
With the challenges of promoting the eco-social transition at a municipal level and supporting repopulation movements in this rural area, we included in the design a space open to the public next to the Algars River in Caseres. A plot with several functions:
Community garden of native plants that serves as a seed bank and information space
Plant and tree nursery for agroforestry systems
Small shop for local products
This space also serves as a point for social meeting, knowledge exchange and other workshops.
Why NOW?
We are at a key point; what we need now is to unlock the next level.
✔️ Boodaville seeks to buy the land for the future security of the project
✔️ Create a plant nursery, community garden and seed bank
✔️ Open a social exchange space for the village of Caseres
✔️ Capture water and sustain more life with a hydrological design
✔️ Add more trees and species to the system
We would love for you to help us make it possible!
What makes this project special?
In partnership with local people, we nurture living systems that extend beyond our boundaries, sharing what we learn and inviting others to rediscover a deeper and more respectful relationship with nature. As we move step by step toward the vision, we apply a holistic design - that considers people, nature and resources as a whole.
We have experience: our team has decades of experience in permaculture, ecological design, agriculture and ethical business development. We have been working for six years on this specific resilient food system, developing the right techniques for cultivation, production, teaching and management. We have experience and are ready for the next step.
We work collectively: the project is managed by an association, prioritizing shared benefit and supporting local livelihoods over individual profit.
We are demonstrating that it is possible: this is not theory; it is a functioning system that proves that ecological restoration, economic viability and community can thrive together, and that, with additional support, it can become a more fully functional system.
We open our doors and sow seeds: through five practical weekends a year, with shared work, meals and moments of enjoyment in nature, people learn by doing and experience regenerative agriculture and permaculture living in action, so that our system becomes a node within a network of many.
Crowdfunding campaign goals
This crowdfunding is essential to launch and truly secure the future of our resilient and self-sufficient food system. Now we have the right team, the network, the design and the practices — we are only missing the funds.
The funds raised in this crowdfunding campaign will allow us to:
Secure the land so that the system endures
The Boodaville association (not an individual person) will buy the vineyard lands from our neighbors, ensuring long-term collective access and making our food system more resilient.
Capture water to allow for more life and food
Highly prestigious experts from La Casa Integral are going to design our hydrological system, so that we can better capture and manage water in the vineyard — unlocking its capacity to sustain more life and food production. This design work is already scheduled with La Casa Integral for 6 May 2026 and with the support of funding we are going to implement the design in 2026.
Plant trees and species that favor a thriving ecosystem
Add more species in the vineyard to expand the agroforestry system as planned in our design, increasing its productive potential.
Create a plant nursery, community garden and seed bank and open a social exchange space for the village of Caseres
Open a plant nursery, a community seed garden and a small farm shop in the nearby village of Caseres — expanding our capacity to share inspiration, resources and knowledge, and reinvesting the funds into the system.
Increase income from wine and products
Further develop our production and sales approaches regarding wine and our own olive oil, as well as other products, as more species are incorporated into the vineyard.
We are motivated to…
Demonstrate that a better food system is possible: in a real, semi-arid Mediterranean vineyard.
Respond to climate collapse with solid actions: without waiting for political changes, without abstract environmentalism. Direct ecological restoration.
Strengthen local livelihoods and build economic resilience: keep value circulating locally, support skilled rural workers, and avoid extractive models based on individual profit.
Promote more resilient systems: open the vineyard and all our processes, allow people to learn by doing, connect experts and newcomers, and spread replicable models.
Build something that people enjoy being part of, something joyful enough to thrive in the long term.
The core group consists of:
Lou Gurney, Angela Ruiter, Nick Park, Robin Delebecque, and Pedro and Maru from Cardúmenes.
We have decades of experience in:
Eco-social design, permaculture, regenerative agriculture, farming and bioconstruction.
Development of ethical products, services and businesses at global and local scales.
Association management, education and event organization.
How did we get to this point?
Since 2008, Lou has been at the head of Boodaville, an environmental education association in the Matarranya region (Spain), which develops its 1.5-hectare demonstration farm according to permaculture principles —including how people grow, build, eat, rest and wash on-site— and which also regularly hosts immersive educational experiences such as courses, youth exchanges and volunteer programs, with funding from Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps.
For years, looking out over the valley, there was a dream of regenerating the neighboring vineyard, introducing other species and developing a thriving food system. In 2020, Lou, Nick and a network of experts created an initial agroforestry design.
With this clear vision, as opportunities arose that could help materialize the design, the team identified and seized them. Neighbors needed someone to manage the vineyard, the grapes had to be transformed into wine, connections were established with local winegrowers, the Life Terra project offered thousands of free saplings, necessary interventions emerged and these were transformed into practical learning experiences…
In 2020 we designed.
From 2022 until now we have seized opportunities, using creativity to achieve a lot with very little.
Now we are ready to make a thriving agri-food system a reality — and share it!
We are cultivating a regenerative food system in the Río Algars area, between Catalonia and Aragon. A system with a holistic design that incorporates ethics of caring for the planet, caring for people and caring for the future.
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development.
Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to improving people’s lives and sustainable development.
Sustainable economic growth will require societies to create the conditions that allow people to have quality jobs.
There needs to be a future in which cities provide opportunities for all, with access to basic services, energy, housing, transportation and more.
Responsible Production and Consumption
Climate change is a global challenge that affects everyone, everywhere.
Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss
