New "Smart Regions" episode: Degraded land begins to bloom thanks to smart use of organic waste

Agriculture is very important in both Spain and Portugal. This European project is helping to bring new life to the degraded landscape at the border between these two countries.

It aims to transform and reinvigorate the soil with organic compost and man-made "technosols". It’s part of a joint project called Res2ValHUM involving three Portuguese cities - Braga, Guimarães and Porto - and four in Galicia: Santiago de Compostela, Ourense, Touro and A Coruña. The project has seven partners in total: two university laboratories and five companies, which specialise in technosols or organic compost production.
