Agriculture Awards Grants for the Second Period of 2024 to Promote Traditional Mountain Livestock Practices
Andorra la Vella, Andorra – The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Sustainable Development has announced the awarding of grants for the second period of 2024 to promote traditional mountain livestock practices and preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the Principality of Andorra.
The grants are part of the government’s efforts to support sustainable agriculture and rural development, particularly in the mountainous regions of Andorra. This funding aims to encourage farmers and herders to continue traditional practices that have shaped the country’s landscape and biodiversity for centuries.
The grants will be used to support a range of activities, including:
- Pastoralism: Grants for pastures, grazing areas, and facilities to promote the sustainable management of livestock on mountain pastures.
- Animal breeding: Grants for programs to preserve and improve the genetic diversity of local breeds of sheep, cows, and horses.
- Artisan cheese production: Grants for equipment, training, and marketing to support the production of traditional mountain cheeses.
- Infrastructure: Grants for projects to improve livestock trails, fencing, and water sources in mountain areas.
- Environmental conservation: Grants for projects that promote the responsible use of mountain resources, such as grazing management and erosion control.
“These grants are essential to ensure the continuity of traditional livestock practices in our mountain regions,” said Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, and Sustainable Development, Jordi Gallardo. “They help preserve our natural and cultural heritage while supporting the sustainable livelihoods of our farmers and herders.”
The grants are open to agricultural producers, livestock breeders, and other entities involved in mountain livestock activities. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as the project’s alignment with the goals of the grant program, its technical feasibility, and its potential impact on promoting traditional livestock practices in mountain areas.
The deadline for submission of applications is March 31, 2025. For more information on the grants and how to apply, interested parties can contact the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Sustainable Development at +376 875 770 or at agricultura@govern.ad.
