The project aims to constitute a training and professionalization platform to promote self-employment and the creation of new sustainable agroforestry farms or improve existing ones, through the resources of the forest that are usually wasted. It is aimed at rural workers and forest managers and owners, as well as professional associations in this field, to ensure and improve training in the management of farms in a sustainable way.

The aim is to support rural development by achieving a more competitive agroforestry sector, applying sustainability criteria and under principles of environmental social responsibility in traditional economic activities linked to this environment.

Since rural development depends, to a large extent, on the qualifications of the workers who provide their services in this environment, through the online courses that are taught, specialized training is optimized to create units of technically qualified agricultural farms.

Good forest management entails a series of environmental benefits such as the fight against desertification, fires and pests, the conservation of the forest, the increase of its biodiversity and the improvement of the landscape. Actions that also contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change.
