The Project
In Spain, project events will be implemented in the autonomous community of the Basque Country. The Country has a diverse variety of rural areas, including agricultural valleys, livestock areas, historical and cultural villages, rural tourism centers, nature reserves and protected areas, and traditional agricultural communities. In recent years, there has been an increase in the adoption of ecological and sustainable agricultural practices in rural areas of the Basque Country. Some rural areas are also undergoing a process of economic diversification and rural development, focusing on organic farming, handicrafts, and cultural tourism. The new Basque Law on Rural Development has a rural proofing approach and considers the sustainable development of the Basque rural environment as a fundamental factor in the development and economic, social, and territorial cohesion of the Basque Country as a whole.
