I am a researcher at the Mountain Agriculture Center of CICYTEX (Plasencia), working on sustainable water management in mountain fruit farming, with a focus on cherry and chestnut crops. My work involves optimizing irrigation through the use of sensors for water management under scarcity conditions and decision-making models tailored to climate change. I collaborate in knowledge transfer projects and innovation networks for sustainable rural development in mountain areas.
