Already widely used in the Middle East, the Pacific Countries, America and even Europe, it ensures water security in many countries.

🇮🇹 Venti nuove piantine sono arrivate due mesi fa alla comunità certificata agroecologica di Azirumarca (Cochabamba, Distretto 9). Qui l’impatto ambientale del progetto #AgrecolTrees è prevalente: incentiviamo la coltivazione di frutticole, monitoriamo la loro crescita e promuoviamo lo scambio di conoscenze e competenze agronomiche per la cura degli alberelli. Che bello vedere una contadina presentarsi con suo figlio al giorno della distribuzione. Proprio con queste azioni quotidiane conoscenza e cultura ambientale e passione per un tipo di agricoltura rigenerativa possono essere tramandate alle prossime generazioni.
Se hai voglia di scoprire di più sul progetto e comprare una nuova piantina, vieni a trovarci al nostro stand, questo sabato 8 luglio, durante la fiera Porteghi e Spiazi di Lavis (TN). Oltre alle piantine ecologiche potrai sfogliare e acquistare il libretto a fumetti “L’Avisio nel Tempo”, iscriverti al campo estivo Social Media Detox e scoprire tutte le nostre altre iniziative!
