3 million euros to strengthen agroforestry systems in Terres de l’Ebre and Priorat
The Government allocates 3 million euros to a project to improve agroforestry resilience in Terres de l’Ebre, Priorat, Baix Camp, and southern Lleida. This initiative aims to strengthen agricultural systems in the face of the climate crisis and energy transition in areas affected by denuclearization.
The project, called 'Living Agroforestry Mosaics,' is led by the l’Aube Association and will be deployed over three years with the objective of analyzing, preventing risks, and generating local bioeconomy.
What does the "Living Agroforestry Mosaics" project entail?
Why is it key for the affected regions?
The regions that have experienced the loss of nuclear activity need to strengthen their adaptive capacity. This project acts directly on agroforestry systems to make them more resilient to climatic and economic impacts.
What actions are planned to be implemented?
- Detailed analysis of agroforestry systems to identify vulnerabilities.
- Risk prevention and management associated with the climate crisis.
- Preservation of local biodiversity to guarantee ecological balance.
- Promotion of the bioeconomy as a sustainable source of income.
How will this project affect the involved territories?
What changes can the inhabitants of Terres de l’Ebre and Priorat expect?
The territories may see an increase in the sustainability of their agroforestry operations, with fewer climate risks and more economic opportunities linked to the bioeconomy.
How will the investment and deployment be distributed over time?
The investment of 3 million euros will be distributed over three years, with progressive interventions in the regions of southern Lleida, Baix Camp, Priorat, and Terres de l’Ebre.
What relevance does this project have within the energy transition?
How does it fit with the Nuclear Transition Funds?
The project is part of the Nuclear Transition Funds promoted by the Department of Business and Labor, a tool to mitigate the social and economic impact of the disappearance of nuclear activity in these regions.
What long-term impact can it have?
The initiative can set a sustainable model of rural and agroforestry development that helps stabilize the local economy and favor biodiversity, as well as prepare the territories for future climate challenges.
| Region | Type of action | Expected duration |
|---|---|---|
| Terres de l’Ebre | Risk analysis and prevention | 3 years |
| Southern Lleida | Biodiversity preservation | 3 years |
| Priorat | Bioeconomy generation | 3 years |
| Baix Camp | Integrated agroforestry measures | 3 years |
For the inhabitants of the affected regions, this economic and knowledge injection is more than aid: it is an opportunity to reinvent themselves and face a more sustainable and resilient future.
