This toolbox will contain the tools that will allow the implementation of the pilot projects in the three pilot territories. The city of Cartagena, located in the Region of Murcia in Spain, will develop a Rural Transition Lab in the Oeste Region of its territory, a rural and marginalized region of the territory of the community. The pilot project will focus on the definition of new agricultural economic models based on the optimization and preservation of local resources (endogenous species, water recovery by PV panel systems). The Intermunicipal Community of Ave, located in the Norte Region of Portugal, will develop a second Rural Transition Lab. Its pilot project will be implemented in the municipality of Póvoa de Lanhoso and will support the use of endogenous species and local know-how for the development of urbanized areas in order to optimize water use. The Syndicat mixte Est Creuse Développement, located in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region of France, will develop the third Rural Transition Lab at the level of its two communities of municipalities Creuse Confluence and Marche et Combrailles in Aquitaine. The pilot project will address the challenges of preserving endogenous biodiversity and landscapes and the challenges of runoff and soil erosion through the implementation of a sustainable management system for agricultural hedgerows. This toolbox will contain the method used for the territorial dialogue and the GIS tool (common solution): TOOLS for the implementation of the strategy of the RURAL TRANSITION LABS
