Jessica Dunlop, an island enthusiast and a permanent resident since 2019, divides her time between two projects that share her desire to enhance and promote an agricultural approach based on respect for the ecosystem in Ibiza. From a background far from formal agriculture (despite the fact that some of her ancestors worked in the sector), Jessica has decided to become fully involved in this sector, with the goal of fomenting the restoration of the biological balance of agricultural fields, using experimental methods that are currently under development.

An active member of APAEEF (Association of Organic Farming Producers of Ibiza and Formentera by its ibicencan acronym) she has launched several projects including Banc de Terres (land bank), an agroecological management initiative whose purpose is the sustainable enhancement of farmland that has been left fallow. With these Ibizan producers, she pursues a mentoring practice that includes many different aspects: from the location of these lands now inactive and its connection to these interested producers, to financial aid, creating spaces for dialogue where they get to share good practices among farmers, to training in techniques to achieve a viable format at an ecological and economic level.

In parallel, Jessica Dunlop develops Can Purtell, whose main objective is to establish various species of perennial and annual fodder crops, adapted to the climate of Ibiza, to regenerate soils and provide livestock with optimal nutrition and a balanced diet in minerals, taking into account the water scarcity of the Pitiusan climate, among other major constraints.
