ONG offering living labs and test sites for digitalized agriculture (40 Hc), digital twins in forestry (200 Hc) and sustainable water technologies
The AICFD Association stands out as a reference in innovation and collaboration in the field of rural development, agriculture, and forestry technologies. With a strong track record in implementing European Union-funded projects, AICFD works closely with both public and private entities to promote sustainable solutions tailored to the challenges of rural areas.
Commitment to Innovation and Rural Development
AICFD combines the practical experience of its living labs with the execution of pioneering projects such as FOCAL and IT4EST. These experimental spaces, which cover livestock, agriculture, fertilizer testing, soil studies, and forest management, enable the evaluation and validation of new technologies and methodologies under real-world conditions.
AICFD’s vision is centered on the pursuit of comprehensive solutions that combine applied research with technological innovation, contributing to the sustainable development of rural areas. With a strong commitment to society and the environment, the association promotes active community participation and cooperation between the public and private sectors, strengthening the resilience of agroforestry systems in the face of current challenges.

Our ONG is working actively in rural development, agriculture and forestry technologies
Already implementing different EU projects in our living labs (ej. FOCAL; IT4EST)
Offering living labs (animal husbandry, agriculture, fertilizer testing, forestry, and soils)
Cooperating with different private entities in CO2 sinks, artificial soils testing (companies working in our territory and living labs implementing technologies and EU funds, i.e. LOMARTOV, ECOCASTULUM)
Last Demo site implemented: Demonstration site for testing new technologies in the agro-forestry sector in Aragón region. 25 ha pilot of cereals cultivation (Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare, Onobrychis viciifolia) and 200 ha of Mediterranean Forest area in ‘Maestrazgo Mountains’ to monitor the relation between soil quality and SFM, forestry ecosystem biodiversity, climate change effects and resilience studies.
Expertise in policy, standards, social assessment, civil society engagement. Already worked in the development of the Smart specialization EU-RIS3 strategy and circular economy regional plans for different Spanish regional Governments, including agriculture and Forestry.
