Castilla-La Mancha launches the Move Your Rural Home program

Published on June 22, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The regional government has launched an initiative for municipalities to mobilize unused housing and allocate them to services for the agricultural and livestock sector. The program aims to improve access to basic resources and optimize working conditions in the countryside. For residents, this means direct support for those who depend on agriculture and livestock, thereby strengthening the local economy and life in rural municipalities.

Rural unused housing transformed into an agricultural services hub, farm worker loading fertilizer bags into a pickup truck in front of the renovated house, technician inspecting a solar panel on the roof while a rancher opens the door of an adjoining barn, farming tools leaning against the wall, landscape of crop fields in the background, photorealistic cinematic style, natural sunset light, stone and wood textures on the facade, loading and maintenance action visible, no text or numbers in the image

Digitalization and logistics for the connected countryside 🌾

The strategy includes the integration of technological tools such as resource management platforms, sensors for crop monitoring, and shared storage systems. Municipalities will be able to set up rural coworking centers with fiber optic access and charging points for electric machinery. These converted homes are also expected to house small warehouses for agricultural inputs, reducing travel and improving efficiency in the primary sector supply chain.

From the farmhouse to the rural hub with Wi-Fi and electric tractor 🚜

Finally, grandma will be able to say that her village house is an innovation center, even if the cold still comes in through the cracks. The idea is that the rancher, after milking, can telework from the old stable with a machine-made coffee. Of course, they shouldn't forget to install heating, because the countryside is tough and Wi-Fi doesn't keep you warm. At least the tractor will have its own plug, which is progress.
