Terra Alimenta


Terra Alimenta is a capacity-building programme for Spanish Local Action Groups (GALs), financed by Fundación Carrasso and implemented by the consultancy Redo Red. Launched in 2020 following a diagnostic study on the potential of GALs to drive rural food transitions, the programme works with GALs across Spain to integrate sustainable food systems — known as SATs (Sistemas Agroalimentarios Territorializados) — into their local development strategies. It offers training modules across all dimensions of the food chain, continuous mentoring, peer-learning encounters, individual action grants, and shared outputs including a strategic guide, a Terra Alimenta Manifesto, and a rural-urban connection study. A second cohort of GALs joined in an ongoing phase, with a new line on agricultural test spaces (espacios test agrarios) now added to support generational renewal in rural food production.
