Objective:
The main objective of Biocastanea is the sustainability of chestnut orchards as a natural, cultural, economic and landscape element, through the transfer of technical and scientific knowledge to the productive sector. Furthermore, it aims to make chestnut growing one of the main pillars of sustainable development. To generate debate, analysis and exchange of new proposals for the development of the sector. To maintain the relationship between culture-biodiversity and economy present in the chestnut tree.
Context:
On November 11, 2009, the Chestnut Table of El Bierzo was constituted, it is integrated by associations and representative institutions of the production, transformation and commercialization of the chestnut, the property and entities sensitized with the chestnut and its products as a socioeconomic dinamizing element and basic element of the regional history and culture. In order to achieve these objectives, the Strategic Plan for the structuring of the chestnut tree in El Bierzo has been designed, which provides for 3 lines of action: production, recovery and participation. The line of participation provides for knowledge transfer actions, including the Biocastanea fair.
