Extremadura
Geographic and demographic influence
With a total area of 41,634 km2,
Extremadura represents 8.1%
of the area of Spain
Extremadura Region is more
extensive than Belgium or
Netherland, It is formed by
the two biggest provinces of
Spain: Cáceres and Badajoz
Extremadura
Municipalities, rural development and resources:
A density of 26 inhabitant/km2 (below the EU rural concept 30inh./km2)
383 small municipalities (90% of the total, under 5.000inh.)
Main cities
Badajoz city = 150.000 inhabitants
Cáceres city = 90,000 inhabitants
Mérida city = 60,000 inhabitants
Protected Areas Network
and Water Resources
Extremadura holds a rich natural and cultural
heritage with an important environmental
biodiversity.
The 30% of the territory in Extremadura is
subjected to a some short of environmental
protection.

The strategy
Connecting local traditional specialization in farming with new
global trends:
– Healthy and safety food
– Veterinary as shortest path to market for biomedical industry
– Wide pre clinical research with large animal as strategy for risk
management in drug discovery and clinical products

Project objectives
Main Objective:
To obtain a formulae, scientifically, technically and
economically validated for an ecological pesticide from agro
food waste, to be used in tomato industry, vine and olive
crops.
Specific objectives:
– Local Agro-Food wastes characterization in terms of
biocide active principles
– Formulate a pesticide from processed wastes
– Agricultural validation in field over crops of interest
– Study of economical viability
– Environmental impact of project actions

Results / Conclusions
•

•
•
•
•
•
•
Lactic whey, garlic and Brassicas residues have proven biocide
capacity
Industrial feasible extraction
Stability of biocide extracts during storage
Eco toxicity 96% lower than traditional pesticides
Potential reduction of 66 % of traditional pesticides
Environmental impact
• 96% equivalent CO2 reduction
• 200.000 MT agro food residues potentially re-used in beneficial
product for crops
No differences in gross yield / technological behavior of industrial
tomato, vine or olive oil
Improvement of local economy: Job Creation
Needs, bottlenecks and gaps
in relation to the deployment of the Bioeconomy
at regional and national level
1. Specific program for underdeveloped regions
2. Including the touristic use of natural resources in
the Bio-economy strategy
3. Deepening in the value chain of Bio-economy
through service sector
