Despite all the countless declarations of love for the land, there are still initiatives in Menorca’s rural areas that consistently seek maximum real estate returns, at the risk of significantly altering the island’s territorial reality.
A territory that, we were told, had captivated developers precisely because it was well-preserved. Yet influential figures keep pushing limits, even when projects would be profitable with fewer interventions, or when investors already have ample financial capacity.
This initiative, addressed to 15 farms in Menorca, both conventional and organic, will allow the selected farms to take part for two years in an innovation process that will include co-creation workshops on agricultural practices, specialised technical advice, scientific monitoring of soil health carried out by the University of Valencia, and dissemination of the results obtained. Eight livestock farms, four horticultural farms and three farms with woody crops will be selected. As compensation for the efforts devoted to the project, each participating farm will receive €5,000 per year (up to a total of €10,000 over the two years).
