Training for those who They work the land.

If you work the land or livestock in Cuenca or anywhere in Castilla-La Mancha, this course is for you. During this course, you will see, with experts from the sector, how regenerative and ecological agriculture helps to care for the soil and water without sacrificing production, what environmental regulations affect you, and what commercial opportunities the products from the area have.

Agricultural activity and wetland conservation share a common territory, and that is precisely what the course is about: working the land while making the most of it.

It is free, it is held in Villar de Olalla, and at the end you receive a certificate of hours from the Junta. Limited places, so book yours soon.

What you will learn

Three blocks, 
the same goal.

During the course we cover three major areas that complement each other: field practice, regulations, and the commercialization of products.

Regenerative agriculture
Practices to improve soil health, increase its organic matter and its ability to retain water, reduce dependence on external inputs, and keep the soil covered and alive throughout the year.
Organic agriculture
Production without synthetic inputs, with soil management, crop rotation and natural pest control, and the key elements of the certification process to be able to market under the organic seal.

Conservation, legislation and marketing
How agricultural activity and wetlands fit together, the environmental regulations in the sector, and the options for commercializing the products from the reserve and its surroundings.
