Fundación Andanatura

Nature and sustainable development in Andalusia

Fundación Andanatura para el Desarrollo Socioeconómico Sostenible is based in Dos Hermanas, Seville, and works to promote economic development and nature conservation in Andalusia's natural areas. The foundation marks 30 years of work and argues that business development and environmental sustainability can go hand in hand.

Who it works with

Andanatura works directly with small and midsize businesses, entrepreneurs, and public and private institutions in Andalusia's natural areas. It provides business guidance and training, develops innovation plans, and helps rural businesses go digital, with the goals of supporting green jobs and helping people remain in their communities.

The foundation also has experience securing, managing, and technically and financially administering European funds, including ERDF, EAFRD, ESF, and LEADER programs. According to its published figures, it has invested more than €18 million, completed 120 projects, and advised more than 600 businesses over the past five years.
