The project aims to improve the training of workers in rural areas of the regions of Molina de Aragón-Alto Tajo and Serranía de Cuenca, in order to promote a new economic activity, truffle farming, and promote the development of gastronomic tourism around it.
The aim is to generate sustainable economic activities that help to stop the depopulation of the rural areas of the Molina de Aragón-Alto Tajo region, in Guadalajara, and the Serranía de Cuenca. A new business impulse will help to make economic development compatible with the preservation of environmental values.
As a specific objective, it is intended to promote the development of the new truffle farming sector in these areas. To this end, the truffle cultivation is committed to the plantation of mycorrhizal holm oaks. In this way, the creation of companies that develop the plant, that execute the planting project and then market the product will be promoted.
Truffle cultivation practices require less tillage and care than traditional crops in the area, which leads to a better quality of life for farmers in the area.
In addition, they will encourage the arrival of new personnel to the agricultural sector, as it is a product with high added value and that can generate opportunities for entrepreneurial entrepreneurs.
