RURAL ESTATES
We develop our crops with the same approach as we follow for our other activities: with innovation and quality. In our rural estates we have land used for organic cereal farming, ensuring that we have natural feed for our animals. As well as serving a farming function and having value as assets, these estates allow us to harness the synergies between our different businesses, so pig farms, wind farms and photovoltaic plants can all be found on them.
HARDWOOD TREE PLANTING
We have a certified 170-hectare hardwood plantation at the heart of the Monegros desert. There we cultivate high-quality walnut and cherry trees which prevent deforestation and serve as a way of removing greenhouse gases.
