![]() ![]() WHAT IS LIFE MONTADO-ADAPT LIFE Montado-Adapt is a project to promote the adaptation of the Montado/Dehesa system in Portugal and Spain, which main objective is to mitigate the consequences of climate change, increasing the sustainability at an economic, social and environmental level. WHAT WE DO? We support the owners and managers of land in the regions of Alentejo (Portugal), Extremadura and Andalusia (Spain), in the implementation of the Integrated Land Use (ILU). The System is already underway in pilot areas, which will also support all stakeholders in the implementation of the System on its own properties. ![]() |

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTIAL IN THE
INTEGRATED LAND USE SYSTEM? The adaptation of the properties to the present climatic conditions through this system is based on diversification strategies, taking into consideration not only the charateristics of the soil and endogenous aspects of the property, but also the current climatic conditions, promoting the increase of productive capacity during the year. This way the economic, social and environmental sustainability throughout the year does not suffer so many fluctuations, reducing the desertification in land but also demographic. ![]() |
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THE INITIATIVE? All the owners and managers of Montado/Dehesa properties in Portugal and Spain. |
The LIFE Montado-Adapt project is an initiative co-financed by the
