Enric Tello is full professor of the Department of Economic History, Institutions, Policy and World Economy at the University of Barcelona (http://www.ub.edu/histeco/eng/inici.htm) and co-researcher of the international project Sustainable Farm Systems: Long-Term Socio-Ecological Metabolism of Western Agriculture funded from 2012 to 2018 by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, together with other funds provided by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness in Spain among others. This Partnership Grant assembles several research groups in the universities of Saskatchewan (Canada), the Institute of Social Ecology in the Alpen-Adria Klagenfurt in Vienna (Austria), Pablo de Olavide (Seville) and Barcelona (Spain), Nacional de Colombia in Bogota and Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Cali (Colombia), with some collaborators in the United States, Costa Rica, Czech Republic and Cuba. He publishes on Environmental History as well as in Economic and Rural History of Catalonia, Spain and other places using socio-metabolic approaches to energy and material balances of agricultural systems, as well as landscape ecology analysis of land cover land-use changes, in journals like Ecological Economics, Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, Human Ecology, European Review of Economic History, Environmental Science & Policy, Landscape Ecology, Australian Economic History Review, Biodiversity & Conservation, Regional Environmental Change, Environment & History, Land Use Policy, Historia Agraria, Investigaciones de Historia Económica, Studi Storici, or Revista Iberoamericana de Economía Ecológica among others. A distinctive approach of his work is to carry out Environmental History research as a transdisciplinary meeting point where new societal topics can be addressed from a long-term historical perspective, like developing a circular bio-economy where agroecosystems and bio-cultural landscapes play a relevant role as providers of vital ecosystem services - info
