Already in the past few weeks in this article we told you about Luca Pala and the initiative that the C.I.U.R.M.A. association is pursuing to save his company from expropriation followed by financial collapse. Luca was then with us at the assembly to tell us his story: more than the economic difficulties of a farm (as so many are unfortunately known) what struck is the resilience of the community around us. Local producers and co-producers who take it upon themselves to safeguard what is felt to be a common good, a piece of their territory and history to be kept alive. A concrete and mutualistic way of reacting to bureaucratic distortions and the economistic drift of agriculture, which can also be taken as an example for future cases.

The board and assembly of WWOOF Italy strongly support this initiative and will do their part. In addition, they invite all members who have the ability to make a contribution to put in their own brick so that this endeavor will be successful: time is tight, by next month the necessary amount must be raised to be able to participate in the auction. In addition to donating an unrestricted amount through crowdfunding, perhaps the most interesting formula and one that is garnering the most fiondi is thatis possible to agree on a non-interest bearing loan to be repaid over the years.
