The delivery of troughs to enhance extensive livestock farming and prevent wildfires is highlighted in the new BCN Smart Rural Press Digest.
The Barcelona Provincial Council has delivered twenty troughs to the Associations of Forest Owners of Berguedà Verd, Gavarresa-Moianès, Lluçanès, and Serra de Bellmunt to promote extensive livestock farming and prevent forest fires. This initiative is part of the "Smart forest management: forest fire prevention infrastructures for the protection of natural resources and biomass production" project under the BCN Smart Rural program.
The troughs will provide crucial water points for animals involved in forest fire prevention tasks in Priority Management Areas. Designed for cows, goats, and sheep, they have been distributed to farms where forestry work has improved the pastures. The provision of these water resources is essential for ensuring the sustainability of the agrosilvopastoral sector in the region.
