a 100 year history

Ramón Álvarez de Arriba, an emigrant from Peón in Cuba, left a legacy upon his death in 1920 for the creation of an Agricultural School in Peón. It was a revolutionary project and ahead of its time.

In 2019 the Ramón Álvarez de Arriba Foundation folded and donated the Poreñu farm to CTIC with the aim of creating a rural technological innovation center.

START POINT

Recognize and rehabilitate pre-industrial rural knowledge and technologies. The villages practiced circular economy, environmental sustainability, biodiversity conservation, renewable resources and soil conservation. They shaped the landscape we know today.

 

TECHNOLOGY, THE NEW VERTEBRATOR

Technology is the new backbone of the villages of the 21st century: CONNECTED VILLAGES. Technology will be increasingly present in agricultural and livestock activities, in the relationship between people, in the provision of services, in the relationship with nearby urban centers and with the world.

Technological innovation will be decisive in the four main pillars of rural development:

Agriculture and primary processing industry.

Attraction of new settlers (neo-rural).

Niche tourism based on environmental resources
