Guadalupe Ramos Truchero has a PhD in Sociology from the University of the Basque Country and a degree in Sociology from the University of Salamanca. She was a pre-doctoral scholarship holder of the Basque Government.
She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Social Work at the University of Valladolid in the Faculty of Education at the Duques de Soria Campus, where she is currently the Academic Secretary (https://www.facultadeducacionsoria.org/).
Her research career started in the field of Rural Sociology and Agriculture with the study of the socio-economic impact of rural development policies in the European Union and research on the generational change on family farms in the Basque Country, the basis of her doctoral thesis. Later on, her research moved towards other areas such as employment and business, and she has worked on the quality of employment, job satisfaction, and equal opportunities in the rural environment. In recent years, she has been working on food-related issues within the Food Sociology Research Group at the University of Oviedo.
She is part of several research groups. As part of them, she has worked in European, national, and regional projects, investigating topics such as farmers’ and municipal institutions’ agro-environmental commitment to the fight against climate change through the application of agro-forestry production systems (LIFE + projects: “Green Deserts” [European Commission’s Best Life Award 2016–17] and “Operation CO2”); counter-urbanisation in Spain (CS02011–27981); social practices linked to food outside the home in Spain and the United Kingdom (CSO2012–31904); evaluation of rural development programmes in the Basque Autonomous Community; the study of inequalities in access to food shops and food deserts. At present, she is participating in the project “Food and social structure. Analysis of food inequalities” (CSO2015–68434–R) and in educational projects on the use of “ecodidactic“ gardens and their link to food education (Cultive a better world. El uso didáctico de huertos ecológicos para la mejora del aprendizaje del alumnado de Educación Primaria, Secundaria, Formación Profesional y Universidad (“Cultivate a better world. The Didactic Use of Ecological Gardens for the Improvement of Students’ Learning in Primary, Secondary, Vocational, and University Education”, EDUJCYL2016–INV03).
With this research evidence, she has participated in more than twenty national and international conferences as part of working groups dedicated to rural, agricultural, and food issues.
She had several residencies as a pre-doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki (2001) and at the Rural Economy Research Centre TEAGASC (Agricultural and Food Development Authority) in Dublin (2002), as a visiting professor at the University of Manchester (2010) and at Kansas State University in the United States (2014) on a post-doctoral programme, where she researched rural food deserts. This research project was selected by the Fulbright Commission and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports for a research grant (José Castillejo-Fulbright 2014).
Between 2016 and 2020 she chaired the Sociology of Food Research Committee of the Spanish Federation of Sociology (FES) and currently holds several positions in scientific, technical and/or advisory committees: she is regional representative for Southern European countries in the RC 40 Agriculture and Food of the International Sociological Association (ISA) (https://www.isa-agrifood.com/), she is part of the coordination team of the Observatory of the Right to Food in Spain (ODA-E) (https://www.derechoalimentacion.org/) and she is a member of the scientific committee of the Danone Spain Institute (https://institutodanone.es/).
