A practice with centuries of history can also become a tool to face some of the current challenges of the rural environment.

In this episode of “Conectando el RURAL al mundo”, the podcast by Asteo Red Neutra, a company in which Rurix is a shareholder, Pedro Abad talks with Javier de los Nietos about transhumance, extensive livestock farming, sustainability, and technology.

The conversation shows how the traditional movement of herds continues to have value in the 21st century. Shepherding can contribute to the maintenance of the territory, reduce the accumulation of vegetation, and act as a support in the prevention of forest fires.

But tradition and innovation are not opposing concepts. Digital tools now make it possible to improve route planning, manage herds, and facilitate the work of those who keep this activity alive.

The episode also addresses rewilding initiatives and Trashumarte, a project that incorporates cultural and artistic interventions in the villages through which the transhumance passes.

A different look at the countryside that demonstrates how traditional knowledge, connectivity, and new technologies can work together to build a more sustainable and vibrant rural environment.
