Recovery of tall grasses in the Sierra de Os Ancares for the valued production of native breeds of beef

This Operational Group was created to recover and improve the high pastures of the Sierra de los Ancares, as well as to use traditional grazing techniques, promoting their use by livestock farmers.

Mountain pastures were historically used to feed native breeds of beef cattle in the summer, but their use is now in decline. This system has a direct impact on the improvement of mountain ecosystems in terms of biodiversity, plant cover and protection against fires in an area of very high environmental value, as well as increasing the value of meat produced on the basis of this type of pasture and promoting the economy of a region that is clearly undergoing a process of depopulation.
