Le aree agricole nei parchi periurbani italiani: verso nuovi modelli?/The agricultural areas in the peri-urban Italian parks: toward new models?

Urban Farm DB summary

Projects for the valorization of agriculture in Italian metropolitan areas have primarily originated from initiatives within peri-urban parks. The second national Conference on Protected Areas in 2002 confirmed the idea that peri-urban agricultural areas can bridge rural and urban cultures through new management models. Italy presents several plans already realized or in progress that are significant for their concept of peri-urban agriculture, ongoing actions, and the role played by stakeholders.
