Last June 15th, the LaboraTe participated in
a workshop on land planning. This workshop was also attended
by land owners and workers of the agroforestal sector from
the area Monte do Carrio, located in the municipalities
of Lalin and Vila de Cruces (both placed in the province
of Pontevedra, Spain).
This workshop is one of the activities under the pilot action
of Monte do Carrio, under the international project F: ACTS!.
Its goal was identifying the potential production oportunities
of this area and its surroundings. In addition there was
a debate about the constraints that, according to the opinion
of the participants, are stoping the sustainable explotation
of the available land resources.
The workshop also sought to innovate in approaches and methods
of participation of different groups and people in traditional
planning processes. Besides this workshop another one was held in late 2011,
with the participation of representatives from different
departments of counseling for Rural Affairs of the Xunta
de Galicia. It is expected that more workshops will be celebrated,
seeking the participation on people coming from other sectors.
