Members of the USC'S Land Laboratory (LaboraTe) took part in the workshop "Economic Viability" of the international project F:ACTS! (Forms for: Adapting to Climate Change through Territorial Strategies!) organized by the Galician Ministry of Rural Affairs and held in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) during January 26-28, 2011.

Partners from eight European countries discussed about the possibilities of evaluation of economic and social viability of integrated territorial planning activities. Different experts from the Galician Administration, as from the University of Santiago de Compostela and University Rey Juan Carlos contributed to the debate. The workshop included a field visit to the project's pilot area located in Monte do Carrio, where partners could know by first hand about the problems of property fragmentation and mixtured land uses that are so common in Galician rural areas.

F:ACTS! is an INTERREG IVC project in which 14 organizations of 8 different countries take part, among them the Galician Ministry of Rural Affairs and the University of Santiago de Compostela, represented by LaboraTe. The main objective of the project is the development and improvement of integrated territorial strategies to make territories more resilient in the face of climate change.
