Abstract
This chapter focuses on the story of Ernestine Lüdeke, whose efforts lie in conserving and reviving pastoralism, and promoting the viability of western Andalusia’s valuable natural resource, the dehesa. She works actively to integrate quality food production, biodiversity, and social change at local, regional, national, and trans-European levels. Ernestine understands the need to develop rural life and how this need connects with farming, and is equal parts teacher, organizer, farmer, cultural interpreter, environmentalist, and spokesperson. She works with farmers to combine tradition with innovative ideas, and with government bodies and NGOs to help them understand farmers’ issues.
