A centre for regenerative agriculture, innovation and collaboration in Menorca.
The CAR brings together practical advisory, training, on-farm experimentation and local collaboration to improve soil health, farm resilience and the economic viability of Menorca’s agricultural sector.
Practical support
Tailored technical advice and training to respond to real farm needs.
Innovation on real farms
Testing and demonstrating solutions under Menorca’s real farming conditions.
A stronger local network
Connecting farmers, knowledge, research and local actors to create new opportunities for Menorca’s agricultural sector.
The Regenerative Agroinnovation Centre (CAR) is a physical and collaborative space supporting the transition towards more resilient and viable agriculture in Menorca. It brings together farmers, advisors, researchers and local organisations to provide practical support, test solutions on real farms, share knowledge and strengthen local agricultural value chains.
Areas Of Action
Our work is organized around five key areas that guide the Alliance's projects and collective efforts toward an agroecological transition in Menorca.
Collaboration
We bring together local agri-food actors to develop collaborative projects that strengthen partnerships and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable food system.
Accompaniment
Our objective is to provide guidance, training, and practical tools to help farmers adopt sustainable practices while improving resilience and ensuring the long-term viability of their farms.
Innovation
We bet for innovative approaches that improve soil health, reduce environmental impact, increase productivity, enhance working conditions, and deliver healthier food.
Marketing
We work to strengthen short supply chains and local distribution, creating fair opportunities for farmers while encouraging consumers to support local, seasonal products.
Awareness
Our efforts are directed to engage citizens, businesses, and public institutions to promote sustainable food production and encourage the consumption of local and seasonal produce.
Objectives
Coordinating Stakeholders
Ensuring that the stakeholders involved in the agricultural sector work together and in the same direction. The key is to create synergies.
Mobilising Resources
Leveraging the human resources, infrastructure and materials we already have, and attracting new ones, for example through funding for specific projects.
Supporting Farmers
Through advice, training, support for innovation, marketing… The aim is to support the entire value chain to make this transition a reality.
Celebrating Its Value
The role of farmers is key to the regeneration of the territory. We work to make their work visible and to give it the recognition it deserves.

The Living Lab & The Alliance For Agroecology In Menorca
The Menorca Living Lab, “Alliance for Agroecology in Menorca”, brings together farmers, advisors, researchers, local organisations and other actors to support the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient agricultural model in Menorca.The CAR is one of the hubs created within the Alliance to respond to the needs of Menorca’s agricultural sector.
Two Centres + Pilot Farms
Alaior Centre
The main indoor space of the CAR, hosted by the San Crispín Cooperative. It is a meeting point for farmers and other local actors, and a space for advisory services, training, workshops and knowledge exchange.
Maó Centre
A second CAR, to be ready soon, will be run by Rayën and hosted by the facilities of Es Viver by GOB Menorca in Maó. It will support the activities of the main Hub in Alaior and bring the CAR closer to farmers and other actors in this part of the island.
Pilot Farms
A network of farms across Menorca where regenerative practices are tested under real farming conditions. The farms help the CAR and its partners learn what works, measure results and share practical knowledge with other farmers.
Join The Agro Innovation Group
The Agro Innovation Group is the participatory community of the CAR.
It brings together farmers, livestock producers, advisors and other local stakeholders who want to contribute to the future of regenerative agriculture in Menorca.
More than a membership network, it is a collaborative space where participants identify common challenges, exchange practical experience, define priorities and help shape future CAR activities, projects and training.

GOV4ALL & the Hub Network
The GOB Menorca team brings a range of key areas of expertise to GOV4ALL that are vital for achieving the project’s objectives.
The size of the island is propitious to set a whole-island living lab that can explore innovations at practice, farm, sector and even system level.
The lab will leverage these existing connections between food producers and consumers to nurture innovation processes with a strong involvement of civil society, towards coordinated actions on soils as real social-ecological systems.
