The general objective of the project is to develop green jobs in the Asturian agricultural sector through training and advice on carbon agriculture, improving the environmental and economic sustainability of agricultural holdings and responding to the needs of European society.

As specific objectives, we pursue:

1. Train technical staff from agricultural cooperatives and rural entities in carbon farming and regenerative farming practices, adapting the training to their work reality.
2. To train and advise farmers and ranchers interested in applying carbon farming techniques on their farms, promoting more sustainable and resilient production.
3. To design and implement a social innovation action, which allows identifying strategies to facilitate the adoption of carbon farming in the real socio-economic context of the Asturian rural environment.
4. Foster communities of practice as spaces for meeting and collaborative learning for the exchange of knowledge, tools and experiences around carbon agriculture.
5. To promote equal opportunities and the development of soft skills among participants in the agricultural sector, facilitating generational renewal and the empowerment of women and young people in rural areas.
6. Prepare the agricultural and livestock sector for the future European framework for the certification of carbon removals and carbon credits, generating new opportunities for diversification and increasing agricultural income.
7. To contribute to the improvement of the image of the agricultural sector, making visible its active role in the fight against climate change and its contribution to food security and sovereignty.
