This short story stems from my long-standing desire to go to Calabria, to see the Gioia Tauro Plain, to get to know the places and the people behind the boxes of oranges that arrive in Senigallia and that smell of dignity, of resilient and courageous work for change.

The overall objective of the network is to bring together a critical mass of cities committed to phasing out the use of pesticides and to provide a European platform for experiences, practices, knowledge sharing and mutual support. The European Pesticide-Free Cities Network envisions a Europe in which the use of pesticides is minimised and replaced with existing sustainable alternatives, and thus the health of citizens and the environment is safeguarded, and a better quality of life is achieved

At the Giant Trees Foundation we are looking for a young person who would like to gain experience as a ‘factotum’ assistant on our ‘educational farm’ to improve our place
This year’s choice fell on the house/hostel of Valledrane in Treviso Bresciano (BS).
A new territory to discover, a good welcoming capacity of the structure in the simplicity that is congenial to us.
We are in a situation of a serious water emergency and with a generalised increase in prices, including those of foodstuffs; these are essential goods for our existence, water and food. Each of us can do a lot, starting with the land and self-production.
The project revolves around the idea of reorganising a cheese production trade, which was started 10 years ago with a few goats (presently a herd of 60) by Attilio, a native of the village of Tufillo. The Fattoria Fonte Trocchi is collaborating trough the purchase of 2/3 of the goats and is contributing with two new workers (Federica and Tullio) and occasionally other participants such as woofers and potential new workers on trial. We will collaborate with the Corpo Forestale (Forestry Department) to determine the areas of woodland and scrubland where firebreaks can be created through goat grazing, with Saverio Danubio, a biotechnologist, for the management of the goat manure in an insect-composting plant, and with local farmers for hay and oat supplies during periods when grazing is not sufficient.

The appeal by Cipra Italia, Cirf, Italian Alpine Club, Federazione Nazionale Pro Natura, Free Rivers Italia, Legambiente, Lipu, Mountain Wilderness and WWF Italia: ‘The climate crisis and drought answers to no one, not even the political crisis.

(Very fast wifi).”
Fabio and Enrico decided to challenge the idea that it was impossible to do business in a small village in the Valle Varaita. Contrary to widespread thought, we refused to leave our village in search of a job opportunity. The only possible way to stay was to create it.
