Activities and training approach
The central component of Arraigad@s is practical training in agroecology and sustainable livestock farming. Through active learning spaces, participants exercise organic farming techniques, soil management and extensive livestock farming practices that respect the environment.
These activities are developed with methodologies that integrate:
- Organic gardens, irrigation and composting, teaching sustainable plant production techniques.
- Animal management and livestock practices linked to animal welfare systems and organic production.
In addition to technical training, the project incorporates social and administrative support to facilitate the daily lives of those who participate, as a complement to the acquisition of productive skills.
