The President of IFAPA, Ms. Marta Bosquet, former president of the Andalusian Parliament, has known firsthand at the IFAPA Camino del Purchil center the progress of the project in the year and a half of activity. After three hours of technical meeting and final visit to the demonstration plots, Marta Bosquet has known the scope of the project and the important role that IFAPA has played, plays and will play to build a value chain of structural technical wood in Andalusia with poplar as a driving species grown on agricultural land in the fertile plains of Granada and Andalusia.
Aspects such as establishing a long-term stable nursery of certified plant stock, research and transfer of new clones and management systems of poplar trees to produce quality wood, as well as the training of owners and farmers through collaboration with the Marjal group, have been considered essential to develop by IFAPA to ensure this ecosystem.
It has also stressed the importance of working on other aspects such as the promotion of aid to owners of poplar groves and the need for research into new structural products based on the veneer by unrolling through a new scientific infrastructure in collaboration with the University of Granada. Marta Bosquet has known firsthand the countless environmental benefits provided by poplar trees, especially in its role of filtering and natural purification of wastewater, aquifer recharge with clean water, and mitigation of climate change and buffering pollution.
The meeting will present the results of the LIFE Wood for the Future project, which ends in September of this year. . Representatives of forest owners from all the autonomous communities will meet at the Hotel Luna today and tomorrow.
The 26 photographs selected in the contest organized by the University and the Marjal Producers Association, together with a sound installation, are part of the exhibition at the Galería del Carmen of the Alhama Town Hall.
Organized by the University of Granada, through Medialab UGR of the Vice-Rectorate for Social Innovation, Employability and Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with Salvemos la Vega - Vega Educa and the City Council of Huétor Vega.
A study conducted by IFAPA proves the ability of this crop to take advantage of nitrates in its growth and prevent them from contaminating groundwater. The experiment is part of the LIFE Wood for the Future project, led by the University of Granada.
