We believe that only by working together we can achieve meaningful impact. That is why we created the LandNet and the LandLabs.
What is the LandNet?
The LandNet is a Mediterranean alliance on landscape resilience for forestry and agriculture. By engaging and training farmers, foresters, and other key stakeholders, the LandNet will continuously identify new cooperation and networks to improve and increase knowledge and good practices, also delivering an extensive range of easy-to-access material.
The ResAlliance team will engage and train farmers, foresters and other key stakeholders for knowledge transfer of managerial, technological, financial or governance solutions.
These stakeholders can participate in these activities and share knowledge with each other thanks to the LandNet. The LandNet is a networking tool created by ResAlliance in order to grow new cooperation and access, improve and increase the knowledge of solutions and good practices in the Mediterranean basin.
