Last year, Caja Rural has spent more than three million euros to improve the well-being of society through the Education and Promotion Fund, which deals with developing cooperativism, agricultural experimentation, divulgation and transfer of technology to agriculture, and Fundación Caja Rural Granada.
Its firm commitment to culture, vulnerable groups, grassroots sports, the environment, research and scientific divulgation is shown through the more than 800 activities that Fundación Caja Rural Granada has organized or sponsored during the previous year in Granada, Málaga, Almería and Madrid. This means that more than 1,000,000 people have benefited from Foundation support in all that time. On its side, Caja Rural Granada, through its Technical Board, deals with developing cooperativism, agricultural study, divulgation and transfer of technology and agriculture. In 1980, the entity began agricultural experimentation in the region of the Coast. Since 2008, the new estate is located in the "Puntalón" area, with an area of 3 Has., where tests are carried out in intensive horticulture and subtropical fruit growing.
