About
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.
