About project

CLIMALACT is a supra-regional Operational Group that pursues to develop a brand for sustainability and climate neturality, the CLIMALACT brand, referring to the Asturian and Galician milk production system, considering the joint analysis of farm and value chain to select the best practices associated with different types of farms (intensive, semi-intensive, semi-extensive, and extensive) and value chains (short, national, and international circuits). These practices will be selected from among the existing ones through the implementation of technical improvements by assessing their impact on the productive fabric, the environment and the rural areas of the Galician and Asturian dairy sectors. The evaluation of the overall impact of the selected practices will make it possible to define CLIMALACT branded idiotype farms linked to the different typologies and their respective value chains, with specific sustainable management and climate neutrality guidelines. The ultimate goal of the project is to establish mechanisms that contribute to achieving the objectives set out in the EU's Green Deal and Farm to Table strategy: reducing greenhouse gases by 55%,reducing nutrient loss and herbicide use by around 50%, reducing fertiliser use by around 20%, and increasing organic land management by 25% by 2030, and climate neutrality by 2050.
