Workshop on Agricultural Test Spaces

An agricultural test space is generally defined as a programme to facilitate the progressive processes of installing new peasants in the agricultural sector, coordinated through structured governance agreed upon by all the agents involved. These spaces are coordinated through shared governance where a promoting entity leads the process of structuring the physical, legal and comprehensive supports that each agricultural test space needs. For this purpose, there are different types of territorial entities that provide this structure, such as Cooperatives, Local Action Groups and Town Councils. Each of these entities has the potential to conceive and implement agricultural test spaces from the diversity of different backgrounds and capacities.This conference gives special importance to how each of these entities can contribute to the development of agricultural test spaces.Objectives of the dayTo promote the Agricultural Test Spaces as a very useful tool for the incorporation of new farmers into the sector and for generational change.Introduce the Network of Agricultural Test Spaces.Reflect on the potential of different rural agents in the development of new Agricultural Test Spaces, especially Cooperatives, Local Action Groups and Town Councils.Learn first-hand how an Agricultural Test Space works.Target audienceThe event is aimed at agricultural cooperatives, local action groups, rural development associations, local administrations and town councils, and other people or entities interested in the subject.The event will be in person and will be heldat Palau-castell de Betxí,Betxi (Castellón).The day includes a visitto the Horta del RajolarAgrarian Test Space- Fundació Novessendes, between 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.The journey can be done on foot and is estimated to take approximately 5 minutes.Attendance is free,with a maximum capacity of 100 people.To participate, you must REGISTERthroughthelink.The registration period will endon December 3 at 12:00 a.m.
