Cychest project intends to promote better integration of waste management of chestnut production in the Parque Natural de Montesinho activities, with actions targeted at soil protection and pest control and creating value to guarantee the sustainability of the park's activities. The planned strategy is based on the valorisation of residues from the chestnut production by extracting compounds with high added value from their residues..
