Sustainable Wellbeing Entrepreneurship for Diversification in Agriculture
According to Eurostat data 2018, the added value of Italian agriculture has been estimated at 32.2 billion Eur, as it allows Italy to maintain first place among the EU countries, ahead of France (32.1 billion Eur) and Germany (16.8 billion Eur). EU rural areas are changing and one of the factors is linked to a new agricultural model that identifies multifunctionality as central to achieving economic growth in rural areas in order to revitalize them. OECD defines it as a sector which in a addition to primary function of food, aims at protecting the environment through sustainable economic activities, and at guaranting food safety.
The project fits into this context with the aim of promoting diversification of agricultural activities, according to the principle of sustainable rural development and multifunctionality, which preserves animal welfare and wellbeing as crucial part of the food supply chain.
