Agricultural tractors work nonstop in Juan Gopar and Tesejarague to prep fields for planting

The operation is coordinated between the Works and Machinery Service, the Environment Service, and the Tuineje Town Hall

The Cabildo of Fuerteventura, through its Works and Machinery Service, has launched an intensive effort this week with its agricultural tractors on the gullies and fields of Juan Gopar and Tesejerague, always in coordination with resources from the Tuineje Town Hall. This exhaustive work responds to the Environment Service’s Sowing Campaign and to landowners’ requests to prepare their plots and repair erosion channels.

“We are improving Fuerteventura’s agricultural landscape, a treasure we must preserve, by fine‑tuning traditional farming systems for the benefit of the island’s people,” said Cabildo President Lola García, highlighting the value of inter‑institutional collaboration.

Works and Machinery Counselor Blas Acosta explained that these concentrated actions are “very effective and timely,” because the land must be available and ready to take advantage of the rainy season.

“Promoting local, ‘kilometer‑zero’ production supports the local economy and food sovereignty,” he added.

“We have the technical and human resources and we practice collaboration between administrations to fulfill our commitment to residents, updating their lands for rainwater capture and food cultivation,” Acosta emphasized.

Agricultural tractors and staff from the Cabildo’s Works and Machinery Service and the Tuineje Town Hall have been deployed on the cultivated fields of Juan Gopar, where the Environment Service’s Sowing Campaign will soon begin.

In addition, public resources are also working on private farms and gullies in Tesejerague, whose owners requested Cabildo assistance to upgrade their lands for rainwater capture and retention, thereby nourishing their crops and aquifers.

The operation will continue for several days until all listed areas are completed, after which a similar combined public effort will be carried out in other locations across the island, always responding to the support requests of local landowners.
