The educational program will benefit over 250 people and include housing, a school, and multifunctional facilities, with specialized courses in mechanics, agriculture, hydraulics, and related fields, as well as a seed production system to support local agriculture.
This initiative represents, today, the most significant Italian investment in a high-tech regenerative agriculture project in the Southern Mediterranean area: it involves a concession of 36,000 hectares in the Wilaya of Timimoun starting from 2024.
