The project "Livestock products that restore natural capital, mitigate climate change, and promote rural development" (PASTURE+, July 2022-December 2025) is supported by the Biodiversity Foundation of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO) and funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, as part of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan (PRTR).

PASTURE+ aims to restore soils, biodiversity, and mitigate climate change through the implementation of sustainable livestock practices across the country. Key actions include the application of Holistic Management practices on 36 pilot farms and two experimental herds, assessing environmental, economic, and productive impacts. Additionally, a training program will be developed on grazing management, ecological monitoring, and product commercialization.

The project also promotes the differentiation of environmentally-friendly livestock products by adapting the PASTURE+ standard to validate ecological outcomes across different ecoregions, contributing to their market commercialization.

Entities involved include Fundación Cooprado (coordinator), ACTYVA S. Coop, CICYTEX, Fundación Valhondo, Fundación Global Nature, Bedarbide, APAEMA, and ALAND. The scientific committee consists of seven organizations with extensive experience in the project's areas of focus.
