Association for the Rural Development of Central Catalonia acts in the regions of Berguedà, Osona, Moianès and Bages. It is an extensive territory and one of great contrasts, with a rich variety of landscapes and biodiversity. This territory also has a vibrant natural and cultural heritage and valuable protected areas. With the exception of county capitals, this territory is characterized by its rusticness, sweeping countryside and abundant agricultural, forestall and mountainous areas, which are of great importance to the primary sector. The management of forest resources represents an essential challenge, especially due to the growing abandonment of human and livestock activity.
In recent years there has been a tertiarization of the economy due to the growing importance of the tourism sector. This growth is especially linked to rural tourism activities. The influence of the metropolitan region of Barcelona is also noteworthy thanks to the recent improvement of the transport system.
