Adam PisulaDear Elsa.
My name is Adam Pisula. On the Interreg MED forum I have seen your partner search announcement for the project regarding the Improving agricultural economy through enhancing local food consumption project. I am writing to you on behalf of El Ejido City Council in order to express our interest as a partner for the project promoted by your entity. I know that the deadline is approaching quickly, therefore if you are still looking for partners I would like to provide you with relevant information as fast as possible.
Could you please send me more detailed description of your project, together with partner form where I could present our City Council in details? We have been aware of your project proposal, thus we would like to express our interest on joining it. At this respect we would like gather more information concerning the project idea, such as main objectives, main activities, the estimated overall and partner’s budget and other partners you aim to include in this project. Also, we would be really grateful if you could indicate the duration and possible start date…
Below you can find briefly description about City Council.
El Ejido is a municipality located on the southern province of Almería, It has an extension of 227 km², formed by 14 towns with a population of 84. 144 inhabitants (2014). El Ejido is the third most populated municipality in the province of Almería.
El Ejido has a sub desert Mediterranean climate characterized by low rainfall and a long number of hours of sunshine per year and soft temperatures.
Originally, their drylands were used only for rain fed crops but after the exploitation of local water resources, irrigated crops became majority, especially with horticultural crops in greenhouses. This caused a change not only on the value of the land but also on the landscape.
The industrial agriculture is the base of the economy of El Ejido. The 67, 45% of agricultural land is used as irrigated land and the 21% of the land are natural areas, thanks to the natural reserve “Punta Entinas-Sabinar”. These zones are under a high pressure because of the greenhouse’s agriculture and the construction of housing development.
About environmental care, because of the urban life as well as agriculture farming, there are a high number of agents of pollution. The city council is developing a plan of sustainability in order to promote the economic development in a sustainable way in the municipality, preserving the environment and maximizing the use of natural resources, example of them are the PMUS, the creation of an Eco-point, the program of urban sustainability and projects as “City 21”, “Agenda 21” and the “Andalusian Bike Plan”.
The Municipality of El Ejido is extremely interested in improvement of agricultural economy through enhancing local food consumption, which is the topic of your project.
We would be delighted to have a possibility to take a part in your project team. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
