Edible Landscapes
Regenerative land planning and landscape design
Based in Asturias- working across Northern Spain
What could your land become?
I help landowners understand their terrain and bring different ideas together into one clear, beautiful and workable plan.
I read the whole landscape — soil, water, slope, orientation, vegetation, access, buildings and use — and connect this with what you would love the place to become.
From a first consultation or site assessment to zoning, detailed design, implementation and follow-up.
Ways to work together
Every piece of land — and every project — is different. You may need a focused assessment, a clear plan for the whole site, or detailed guidance from design to implementation.
Land Consultation &
Site Assessment
A focused assessment to better understand your land, its opportunities and limitations, and the next steps you can take.
€475 excl. VAT
Zoning Plan
An in-depth research and design process that brings the main functions of your land together into one clear and coherent plan.
From €1950 excl. VAT
Detailed Design &
Implementation
From planting plans and species selection to plant lists, soil preparation, sourcing, implementation and follow-up.
Tailored proposal
Many ideas. One living landscape.
Want to see how all these ideas can come together in practice?
This illustrated brochure takes you through a complete regenerative land planning and design process — from the first observations and site analysis to zoning, planting design and implementation.
“With deep-rooted experience and a passion for my profession, I support farmers and landowners in developing edible landscapes — landscapes that regenerate and provide nourishment for presentand future generations”
-Josse, Edible Landschap
Why Edible Landscapes?
Edible Landscapes aims to transform as much of our cultural landscape as possible into biodiverse, edible and livable places — landscapes that nourish people, animals, the soil and future generations.
Places where we can once again develop a creative relationship with the natural world and work together towards a more regenerative future.
With more than ten years of experience, I’m happy to guide you from A (apple) to Z (Ziziphus) in designing and bringing to life your homestead, farm, food forest or agroforestry system.
Together, we create a landscape that reflects your wishes, needs and dreams while working with the character and capacity of the land.
What can become part of your landscape?
No two properties need the same solution. Depending on your land, your needs and your ambitions, a design can bring production, ecology, beauty and practical use together into one coherent whole.
Because each element affects the others, they are considered together from the beginning — rather than added one by one later.
A complete land plan may include:
- Soil health, soil analysis, compost and fertility
- Water management, access and infrastructure
- Food forests, orchards and agroforestry
- Integration of gardens and productive growing areas
- Animals and grazing integrated into the landscape
- Biodiversity, hedgerows and habitat
Why plan the whole landscape first?
A clear masterplan helps you make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes and develop your land step by step without losing sight of the whole. It creates coherence between ecology, production and everyday life.
The result:
- Ecological and regenerative (CO₂, soil, water)
- Healthy soil and water cycles
- Practical phasing and implementation
- Productive systems that support each other
- Shaped around how you live and work
- Resilient and beautiful for generations
Here’s what our satisfied clients are saying.
Josse designed our food forest. He listened carefully to our wishes and ideas, discussed everything with us, and contributed his experience and knowledge. The result is a beautiful design. The tree list he prepared – including where to find each species – was extremely helpful. There are so many options, and you often need to consider cross-pollination; thanks to his clear overview, everything became much easier.
Thank you, Josse!

The collaboration with Josse exceeded our expectations. What began as a simple request for some advice evolved into a holistic, professional, and highly practical approach to the detailed design of the food forest, the various borders around the house, and even the full development of the property. In addition, Josse focused on the costs and benefits of the entire project and provided numerous tips on purchasing and planting the plant material.

Josse was the ideal person to guide us through the creation of our food forest. Although we already had some prior knowledge, we soon realised how much we still had to learn. He took the time to understand us, our vision and our wishes, encouraging us to slow down and reflect when needed while allowing us to set the pace. Drawing on his extensive experience and training in agroforestry, he answered our questions with complete transparency about sources, suppliers, costs and planning. He masterfully balanced guidance with freedom, and control with trust. In less than six months, a wild idea became an edible jungle of around 1,000 plants and shrubs, ready to unfold in our backyard. A thousand thanks, Josse!

I greatly enjoyed working with Josse.He gave me all the space I needed to share my story, and his personal involvement meant a lot. His expertise was evident throughout the process thanks to the interim feedback and information moments.
The final result is a carefully detailed plan that we can now bring to life — a place that will become truly special. We chose to include unique elements that reflect the spirit and values of my late beloved, making the design deeply meaningful.
