TURBERSIL Operational Group: Enhancement of natural forest areas producing wild truffles and socio-economic and techno-cultural interaction between the producer and end consumer sectors, to promote domestic truffle consumption.

R1. Productive Potential Assessment: A practical system will be developed to measure the actual production capacity of truffles in wild stands. The result is an objective estimate of the productive potential per stand, reducing uncertainty about yields and seasons. For the landowner, this means making data-driven decisions about where to invest, which areas to prioritize, and how to plan for medium-term income. It allows for optimizing forest management costs, negotiating better harvesting contracts, and justifying silvicultural improvements. Professionals will be able to use the assessment to increase productivity per hectare and reduce economic risks.

R2. TuberSil Management and Regulation Platform. A digital tool will be implemented to manage licenses, access, and traceability in truffle forests. The result is to transform a dispersed harvest into regulated, controlled, and predictable income. For landowners, this means monetizing their forest with legal certainty; for harvesters, it means working with greater stability and organized access. It reduces conflicts and improves the sector's image. Professionals will be able to manage permits online, control users, and generate additional income through regulated or recreational harvesting, professionalizing the activity with a reduced administrative burden.

R3. Sustainable Management Itinerary. A practical technical manual will be developed with clear recommendations for improving production in wild holm oak forests: thinning, understory management, and best practices for harvesting and regeneration. The result is a replicable model for increasing yield and conserving the resource in the long term. The main benefit is transforming underutilized woodlands into profitable assets. Professionals will be able to apply specific criteria to increase productivity, reduce plant competition, and stabilize income, improving profitability without the need for new plantings.

R4. Online Auction Market: A digital system for direct sales to retailers and restaurants will be launched, reducing intermediaries. The result is greater price transparency and a better margin for the producer. It allows sales throughout the entire season, not just at specific fairs. The key benefit is increasing the net price received and diversifying sales channels. Professionals will be able to set competitive prices in real time, access new clients, and strengthen their brand of origin, improving liquidity and negotiating power.

R5. AmaTrufa Program: A sponsorship platform will be created connecting consumers with farms (dogs, trees, or plots). The result is the generation of supplemental income and direct customer loyalty. The benefit is transforming part of the production into an experience and emotional connection, increasing perceived value. The professional will be able to offer visits, events, and priority access to the product, generating recurring sales and differentiating themselves from the competition. It is an opportunity to stabilize income and strengthen brand identity.

R6. Sensory Standardization and Quality Expert Group. Objective quality criteria will be established, and a group of qualified experts will be created to organoleptically evaluate the properties of the black truffle (aroma, flavor, texture, and appearance). The result will be a professional panel capable of classifying the product rigorously and consistently. The direct benefit for truffle growers is the ability to justify prices based on actual quality, access premium segments, and strengthen buyer confidence. Professionals will be able to use these standards to differentiate batches, improve selection, reduce complaints, and position themselves in higher value-added gastronomic markets.

R7. Sectoral Interaction Platform: A digital platform will be developed for exchanging services, jobs, machinery, and business opportunities. The result is improved coordination and reduced search costs within the sector. The main benefit is facilitating collaborations and optimizing resources. Professionals will be able to quickly and transparently find harvesters, sell services, acquire supplies, or forge strategic alliances. This strengthens business competitiveness and reduces dependence on informal networks.

RD1: Communication Plan Design. This deliverable aims to establish a clear and consistent visual identity for all information and documentation generated by the project, including its digital platforms. It is divided into four activities: development of the external communication plan, creation of the visual identity for the GO TuberSil project, and definition of the look and feel of the TuberSil and AmaTrufa platforms. The target audience includes the general public, consumers, forest owners, harvesters, technicians, local and regional government, forest managers, media outlets, and stakeholders in the agroforestry sector. The scope is national and encompasses all project formats: events, posters, brochures, press releases, articles, manuals, and merchandising.

Promotion and Advertising on Social Media. This outcome includes regular social media outreach, the launch of digital advertising campaigns, and the creation of impact reports to evaluate reach and adjust promotional strategies. Its objective is to increase visibility, awareness, and interaction with various key audiences: consumers, restaurateurs, rural youth, entrepreneurs, potential Amatrufa ambassadors, rural tourists, foodies, and digital media. Activities include social media management during both phases of the project, a specific social media advertising campaign, and the preparation of results reports. The channels used are Instagram, X, Facebook, and YouTube, with audiovisual and graphic materials.

Knowledge Transfer. This outcome focuses on ensuring that the knowledge generated in the project is accessible, replicable, and useful for technicians, researchers, and interested entities. Activities include publishing results on the European platform EU FarmBook, creating a web-based manual of management itineraries for wild truffle-producing stands, and designing reports of results for the various platforms developed (TuberSil, retail market, Amatrufa, and notice board). The target audience includes the scientific community, technology centers, forestry and agri-food technicians, forest owners, managers, and rural development organizations.

External Communications Management. This deliverable encompasses the tasks of sending press releases, generating audiovisual content related to the project, and compiling all media coverage into a final Press Book. Its objective is to generate media impact and facilitate public access to the achievements. The target audience includes media outlets, government agencies, rural networks, collaborating institutions, agri-food portals, and industry events. The reach is national, regional, and local for audiovisual media, and regional for print media, covering Castile and León, Aragon, Castile-La Mancha, and Navarre.

Outreach Events and Seminars. This result corresponds to the organization of in-person events for the project's launch and closing, as well as events linked to the AmaTrufa program to attract sponsors and raise the profile of participating farms. It is structured around four activities: a project launch day, two pairs of AmaTrufa events (2+2), and a final results presentation. Target audiences vary depending on the event: government agencies, forest owners, technicians, and harvesters for the seminars; and consumers, families, food media, and rural influencers for the AmaTrufa events. The reach is national, and the events may utilize virtual platforms to broaden their impact.
