2. The existing training offer related to extensive livestock farming in each country.
3. General aspects of the interviews carried out with owners of extensive sheep and / or shepherds.
4. SWOT analysis.
5. Needs detected in each country: training needs related to production techniques; training needs derived from the management of extensive livestock farms; training needs derived from the valorisation of production; training needs derived from the application of new technologies; training needs derived from the regulatory framework and other training needs derived from the surveys carried out.
