The regions of La Vera, Campo Arañuelo and Valle de Alagón have an economy based on tobacco cultivation, which maintains its profitability thanks to aid from the European Union. However, these grants have an expiry date, so sustainable economic alternatives must be favoured in these areas, already immersed in a process of demographic decline.

The regions of La Vera, Campo Arañuelo and Valle de Alagón have an economy based on tobacco cultivation, which maintains its profitability thanks to aid from the European Union. However, these grants have an expiry date, so sustainable economic alternatives must be favoured in these areas, already immersed in a process of demographic decline.

This project proposes a participatory rural process focused on planning lines of action in line with the social fabric of the regions involved. The aim is to guarantee the sustainable development of these areas and to have tools that help to avoid the risks arising from the implementation of viable economic alternatives in the short term, but harmful to the rich environmental heritage existing in the north of Extremadura.
