The local council convened the Agrarian Council, predominantly composed of farmers from the Cota 220 and Villa de Onda irrigation community, as well as the Local Cooperative. The aim was to reach a consensus on municipal regulations for solar panel installations.
It was agreed to submit objections to projects affecting rural areas of the municipality. Furthermore, a modification to the General Urban Planning Plan was proposed to establish new control mechanisms for these types of projects.
“"This City Council will always stand by our farmers and the interests of the countryside, because they are part of Onda's DNA, and what is not good for them is not good for Onda. That is why we have listened to them and will work hand in hand."
The Councillor for Agriculture, Maria Baila, emphasized the municipal support for farmers and the agricultural sector, considering them a fundamental part of Onda's identity.
The Municipal Agrarian Council of Onda serves as the local body for participation and agricultural advice. Its functions include assessing the municipality's agricultural reality. It comprises political representatives from all municipal groups, irrigation communities, the local Cooperative, FEPAC-ASAJA, rural agents from the Local Police, and the ROCA Group of the Civil Guard.
