The course lasts two months and features instructors from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University of Zaragoza, the University of Santiago de Compostela, the Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia (CTFC), and the company AGRODIVAR. It comprises 18 virtual sessions and two in-person field trips. The curriculum covers topics such as understory grazing, silvopastoral management, forest resources for livestock, the conversion of scrubland into pasture, and socio-ecological aspects, among others.
