Implementation progress
Terre de Liens together with Terra Franca and the Escola de Pastors de Catalunya have developed a cooperative project. The project focuses on actions related to the transfer of estates (generational handover and transfer of operations), training and support for new farmers and the development of specific tools like farm incubators. It also establishes cross-border actions to create networks with France and promote a new model of farming community.
The project is in the process of seeking funding from the organisations involved.
