First International Workshop - Mars new land for local agriculture
Fondi, 21th may 2004 MOF Conference room
home
Agrifood is one of the most valuable and strategic resources of the local industrial system.
This is a richness coming from a territory whose real identity is not completely consolidated, and needs to be promoted and supported, in order to become a real rural district.
The challenge of a new boost for the territory is ambitious but possible at the same time, having it become a real and close target, an opportunity not to be missed.
The workshop will be a fundamental milestone where a brand new team (at least for our latitudes) will play a starring role on the international scene.
The aforementioned team is built up by social, industrial, public and private actors and is aiming to build up a new conscience of the territory capable to overcome regional borders and to conquer new global spaces.
The workshop will be a wonderful opportunity to couple, in the framework of a creative and ambitious project, two fields apparently far and incompatible: space research and bio-vegetal research.
Federlazio’s team is fully ready to accept the challenge.
Joining together competencies, experience, together with the best human resources available, and creating a unique, integrated and synergic system, this original mission is ready to be launched.
