Agrolab Project, Open Agriculture Laboratories

The aim ofnthe AgrolivingLab Aranjuez is to promote agroecological practices and sustainable food systems at the local level from a multi-stakeholder approach. The LL focuses on sustainability in its three pillars. The socioeconomic dimension consists of the social and labour integration of people who are unemployed or at risk of social exclusion. On the other hand, agriculture is open to the whole municipality and the interested public through open workshops, theme days, and open days. Visits are also made to public schools, so that children can learn where food comes from and get to know the horticultural tradition of the municipality.

In terms of environmental sustainability, they are committed to ecological systems, promoting natural enemies and pollinators, diversifying crops, and making compost.
