Durante el 2015, ha habido importantes acontecimientos para la promoción del Desarrollo Sostenible a nivel internacional, como la Declaración de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), la Conferencia de la ONU sobre el Cambio Climático COP 21 y la publicación de la encíclica del papa Francisco Laudato si´, dirigida a todas las personas de buena voluntad, sobre ecología integral, instando a la conversión ecológica.En los 25 años transcurridos desde la Declaración de Talloires hasta la actualidad, se han introducido cambios en la implementación y promoción de la sostenibilidad, sobre todo en la dimensión económica y ambiental en muchas universidades, pero se ha avanzado menos en la dimensión social y en la integración de todas ellas. Aún quedan muchas lagunas en el currículum y muchas dificultades por parte de las instituciones y sus miembros, para que la promoción del Desarrollo Sostenible sea una realidad en la Educación Superior. Se propone introducir los cambios necesarios para que la sostenibilidad se integre de forma transversal en todos los grados y para que el funcionamiento del metabolismo universitario sea un ejemplo de sostenibilidad ambiental. A partir de entrevistas realizadas a miembros de la Comunidad Universitaria y del proceso participativo del Plan estratégico de sostenibilidad integral llevado a cabo en nuestra Universidad, se analizan cuáles son las posibles barreras en la Educación Superior, que impiden la implementación de dichos cambios, y se sugieren algunas propuestas para poderlas superar y potenciar la sostenibilidad en la Universidad.
Purpose -This paper aims to describe the situation of the agrobiodiversity in La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, a protected area in which the agricultural and animal husbandry sectors play a significant role. It also aims to discuss the activities promoted by the park and by other institutions aimed at conserving and promoting local agrobiodiversity. Design/methodology/approach -One of the three lines of work in the Natural Park in the field of agriculture is the recuperation, conservation and divulgation of notable and/or endangered agricultural species and varieties. This paper describes some of the work carried out in this field. Findings -The institutions are vital in the recovery of interesting species and varieties, and in order to ensure their conservation it is essential to promote projects in which the agrarian sector can participate.Research limitations/implications -Collaboration between the institutions and the agrarian sector is essential for the conservation of the agrobiodiversity, although the interests of farmers and the use of certain species and varieties do not always coincide. Practical implications -The commercial interest and the knowledge of the use and management of some of the conserved species and varieties may have been lost over time, which makes their implantation difficult. Thus, it is important to restore popular knowledge associated with all species and varieties. Originality/value -In light of increasingly homogeneous agricultural and stock-raising practices, activities such as those implemented by the La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park have a vital part to play in the conservation of agrobiodiversity.
