The Barcelona Provincial Council has published 'Grazing Forests: Practical Guide to Restoring the Agroforestry Mosaic through Extensive Livestock Farming', a manual aimed at local governments and professionals in the agricultural and forestry sectors. The primary goal of this guide is to promote the restoration of the agroforestry mosaic, a landscape structure integrating forests, pastures, and farmland crucial for biodiversity and climate resilience.

Developed in collaboration with the Pau Costa Foundation and featuring photographs by Patxi Uriz, this publication provides practical guidelines for reintroducing extensive livestock farming as a tool for forest management, supporting sustainable and effective fire prevention.

The project has received co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the BCN Smart Rural programme.
