The Secretary General for the Demographic Challenge, Francesc Xavier Boya, and the Secretary General of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, Carlos Daniel Casares, participated in the municipal dialogue meeting, along with around twenty mayors and councilors of municipalities adhering to the Grid
January 25, 2023. The Municipal Livestock-Meat Network held the first meeting of mayors and councilors of its member municipalities in Madrid, attended by around twenty officials from municipalities such as Alcarràs (Lleida), Alerre and Binéfar (Huesca), Cabezuela and Cantimpalos ( Segovia), El Viso (Córdoba), Lleida, Tarancón (Cuenca) or Totana (Murcia).
Raúl Muñiz, president of INTEROVIC, and Mª Luz de Santos, Director of INTERCUN, intervened on behalf of the six interprofessional organizations to welcome the municipal officials, and the Secretary General for the Challenge also participated in the dialogue meeting. Demographer of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Francesc Xavier Boya, who has highlighted the role of the industry in rural municipalities such as “strategic to structure the rural environment and a great ally for the depopulation process in territories of our country”; and the Secretary General of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), Carlos Daniel Casares, who has conveyed the organization's commitment supported by the collaboration agreement signed in June 2021, highlighting the interest of the initiatives promoted by the network as “vital element to confront the growing trend of depopulation in Spain.”
At the meeting, the lines of work for 2023 were presented and the Constitutive Declaration of the Network, which includes in ten points its founding objectives to develop this initiative as the best instrument to defend and promote the shared interests between the livestock-meat chain and the local entities in which its activities are based.
The Municipal Livestock-Meat Network was born with the impetus of the six interprofessional organizations ASICI, AVIANZA, INTERCUN, INTEROVIC, INTERPORC and PROVACUNO, in collaboration with the FEMP, with the purpose of recognizing the important support of the municipalities in the development of the activity of the chain, and become a platform for dialogue and a space for collaboration between municipalities and the sector, to face common challenges.
The Network already has twenty-five municipalities throughout Spain (Galicia, Cantabria, Aragon, Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, Extremadura, Castilla y León), and another twenty in the process of joining, seeking synergies to promote the conditions that have allowed the livestock-meat value chain to be one of the most important economic and social drivers of the country for some time and to act as one of the largest backbone agents of rural Spain, especially in those smaller municipalities, thus contributing to combat the growing depopulation in them.
The importance of the livestock-meat chain in the Spanish economy
The positive impact of the livestock-meat chain is also significant at the national level, where it contributes nearly 48,000 million euros to the national GDP and generates 672,000 direct jobs. In addition, the activity mobilizes two million associated jobs that fall into a varied selection of activities such as agricultural production aimed at feeding livestock and professionals in the veterinary, feed, animal health, logistics and transportation, and auxiliary industries sectors.
Livestock activity is carried out on more than 350,000 farms throughout the country, which contribute 16.5 billion euros to Final Agricultural Production, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. In addition, the Spanish meat industry put a total of 7.7 million tons of meat and 1.5 million tons of processed meats on the markets in 2021, worth 31,727 million euros. This production has ensured Spain's food sovereignty with regard to meat and has also allowed 3.46 million tons of meat and various processed products to be exported to markets around the world. These transactions have reached a value of 9,107 million euros, with a growth of 5% in foreign turnover and volume compared to the previous year's figures. These figures have a special strategic relevance at a time when international trade is suffering a strong decline and where the livestock-meat chain has emerged as a guarantee to maintain the positive balance of the balance of payments.
How to be part of the Network
Municipalities that wish to be part of the Municipal Livestock-Meat Network must approve an institutional declaration in favor of the meat-livestock chain and accompany this decision with a communicative action. All the necessary information about the process, the purposes of the Municipal Network and the contact form are available in the platform website.
The Municipal Network for the livestock-meat chain intends to be a reflection of the great diversity that exists in Spain. For this reason, it intends that in the medium term among its members there will be towns from all geographical areas of the country and that they will be governed by political forces of all stripes. The initiative also takes care of demographic representativeness with the participation of municipalities of all sizes, including those with less than 5,000 inhabitants, where the positive impact of the activity is even more notable.

Turkey is one of the most versatile white meats that exist due to its excellent combination of health and flavor. In addition to being a meat with a great quality-price ratio, it allows you to make dishes that will show off at Christmas celebrations.
Chef Damián González, executive chef of the Dos Cielos restaurant, and AVIANZA, Spanish Interprofessional Association of Poultry Meat, detail all the possibilities and benefits of turkey, as well as the best techniques to prepare it and the garnishes that best combine.
The 3 reasons to prepare turkey this Christmas
First of all, it is one of the whitest meats. healthy and tasty. It has a low fat and cholesterol content, but a large presence of proteins of high biological value (essential amino acids necessary for the body) and group B vitamins. All this combined with its great flavor and all the cooking and preparation possibilities. that it offers.
Precisely, that versatility It allows you to shine with any dish made with this meat. Stuffed turkey, for example, is a colorful, tasty and filling dish, which is worthy of any Christmas lunch or dinner.
And, thirdly, it is worth highlighting its great value for money, something very valuable especially in these current moments of instability and economic uncertainty. As Jordi Montfort, general secretary of AVIANZA, explains, “turkey meat adapts to any type of budget, without having to give up flavor or quality. The packaging provided by any dish made with this meat guarantees the enjoyment and delight of all diners.”
The secret of cooking so that the stuffed turkey is perfect
One of the most suitable preparations for the Christmas holidays is, without a doubt, stuffed turkey. For it to become the star dish, in addition to choosing Spanish meat with a European quality seal, it is essential to know the basic cooking and carving techniques, as well as the garnishes that best accompany it.
Turkey for Christmas celebrations.
Cooking keys:
Advance notice: Stuffed turkey is a dish that requires time and preparation prior to cooking. It is important to take this into account when planning its preparation.
Hydration: You have to hydrate the meat to make it juicy. To do this, the ideal is to make a brine by placing the turkey in a large dish, cover it with a mixture of cold water and salt and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Marinate: The next step is to prepare a mixture with which to marinate the turkey for at least 8 hours. This mixture can be made with a base of wine (preferably white) and orange juice, and add salt, pepper and spices to taste.
Fill out: It is the touch that will turn that turkey into a more special dish. Before introducing the filling (which will be to taste) it is recommended to first add melted butter. Likewise, once it is filled, you can spread it with butter on the outside, season with salt and pepper and add the broth in which it has been marinating.
Baked: On the oven tray, with the breast facing up and covered with aluminum foil, it is time to cook it. You have to calculate one hour for each kilo of turkey, that is, if it weighs 7 kilos, it will take 7 hours of baking. The recommended temperature is low, between 120 and 140 degrees.
During baking it is important to continue hydrating the turkey, with the juice it releases and with the marinade, as well as turning it over several times so that it is cooked well on all sides. Once it is ready, it is recommended to let it rest for at least half an hour.
The carving:
Necessary tools: a very sharp knife, a board that serves as a carving surface, tongs, very clean hands and some skill.
The first thing is to separate the thighs.
Next, the breast, separating it from the bone to which it is attached and then filleting.
The last thing that remains is to plate using the tongs.
The garnish and sauces:
The perfect complement to make this dish even tastier. Turkey, being a meat that combines very well with all types of flavors, accepts many options.
The most traditional: mashed potatoes are the most typical option. To give it a special touch you can add parmesan. It is also usually accompanied by sweet potato, vegetables such as cabbage and red fruit sauce, which goes very well with this meat.
The sweetest: Apple compote is another of the quintessential turkey garnishes. The sweet and salty contrast is a success.
In its own juice: Among the most successful garnishes is the so-called Gravy sauce, which is that juice that the turkey has released and with which we have watered it during all the hours in the oven. Strain it before serving (optional, if you want the sauce thick, add flour while hot and stirring to avoid lumps).
The most sophisticated: confit mushrooms with truffle; arugula, walnut and cheese salad; or golden pineapple in its juice.
Garnishes for the turkey.
And for the following days? Everything is used from the turkey
Another great feature of roast turkey is the countless recipes that can be made with leftovers. Nothing of this lean meat is thrown away. From the skeleton for a delicious broth, to the remains of meat for croquettes, cannelloni or a Caesar salad to compensate for the excesses. With turkey you can perfectly carry out what is known as “useful cooking”, so necessary in these times of economic uncertainty.
Turkey as a useful cuisine.
