This launching had 17 representatives of the different project partners from the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. 

This five-year project will implement the ILU model (Integrated Land Use) that aims to support farmers in 11 pilot-areas in Portugal and Spain so they can be capable to adapt to the climate change´s effects that have been felted in the South of the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Montado and Dehesa ecosystems. Thus, it´s intend to enrich the management systems of these ecosystems through the use of new tools and technologies that are going to be articulated with the local communities and products, Eco services and biodiversity. The farmers in these pilot areas are not only going to participants in the project, but are also going to be thought leaders amongst their communities and other farmers who have shown will to implement the ILU system in their proprieties. These promotion and dissemination actions are one of the main goals of this project for/in Portugal.
