Regenerative agriculture and renaturalization: looking at the Mar Menor (ARxMM)
MITECO
- This project develops two demonstrative experiences of regenerative agriculture, in current irrigated plots and in old irrigated plots converted to rainfed farming, with a total of at least 20 ha of agricultural land to produce an environmental improvement, with scientific monitoring and evaluation.
- It will disseminate and raise awareness of agroecology and regenerative agriculture, targeting multiple stakeholders such as the agricultural, school and neighborhood sectors.

Specifically, the project will launch two experimental projects in various agricultural plots of reconversion towards a regenerative agriculture model, evaluating their results and their possibilities of transferability.
Another objective is to raise awareness of the need for a transition to a more sustainable agriculture, disseminating this demonstration project in the agricultural sector and among the population, and promoting training in agroecology and regenerative agriculture.
- Experimental recovery of traditional rainfed crops.
- Actions to enhance biodiversity, the presence of birds and terrestrial fauna and the provision of ecosystem services.
- Development of a semi-arid resilient herbaceous steppe or grassland under the model of regenerative agriculture controlled by holistic grazing management.
- Dissemination and awareness-raising in the agricultural sector, in schools and in the towns around the Mar Menor, including volunteering.
- Training in agroecology and regenerative agriculture.
