The main objective is to contribute to the recovery and conservation of the Mar Menor through a process of agro-ecological transition involving the entire agri-food sector.

Specific goals include:

• Promote governance and citizen participation.
• Establish a network of “laboratories” (farms) for agroecological transition.
• Adapt laboratories for gastrobotanical innovation (“gastrobotanical gardens”).
• Promote an agroecological value chain in the Mar Menor basin.
• To develop training, advisory and results transfer activities.

• Agroecological restoration of soil and biodiversity on 18.5 hectares.
• Production of inputs for an agroecological circular bioeconomy, taking advantage of pruning and avoiding its disposal by burning or landfill.
• Diversification of cultivated biodiversity, growing more than 100 different species and varieties.
• Conducting trials on water and salt stress and on the quality of promising crops.
• Development of an agroecological value chain through meetings to establish new production, distribution and consumption models.
• Agroecological education and training actions and advice to farmers, as well as campaigns for the dissemination and transfer of results.
