The depopulation of territories with a high rate of rurality requires both the search for new production systems that offer added value and therefore better conditions, as well as the maintenance and recovery of native breeds, well adapted to the environment, and which provide synergies to underused forest areas but with great potential, to boost economic activity that is currently non-existent or very scarce. The FORESCELTA project, articulated from a supra-autonomous operational group (GO) made up of associations and related entities from Asturias and Galicia, aims to contribute to the recovery and maintenance of Celtic pig breeds, as well as to the forest clearing of the mountains through an alternative system that, in an automated way, allows the control of free-ranging livestock, retaining it and fattening it, which is already in preliminary study in Galicia.
From a socio-economic point of view, the objectives and results set out by GO FORESCELTA aim for less external dependence on the livestock and forestry sectors, a diversification of income, with the consequent stimulation of the local economy, the involvement and settlement of the rural population and the maintenance of the social fabric in our geographical area.
- Implementation of an extensive production system that, in an automated and digitalized way, allows for the control of livestock in freedom, retention and fattening.
- Contribute to the recovery and maintenance of the Celtic pig breeds, Gochu Asturcelta and Porco Celta
- Obtaining and knowing a quality final product (color, flavor and fatty acid profile) and high health guarantee
- Obtaining real data on the economic profitability of the operating model
- Obtaining data on the relevance of the implementation of this system in the establishment of the rural population and maintenance of the social fabric
- Dissemination of data on the implementation of new extensive Celtic pig farms in Atlantic deciduous forests, using or not using the automated system
