The project
The SIC.A.RI.B project aims to improve the biological and physical quality of Sicilian agricultural soils, through the implementation and adaptation of conservative or 'organic regenerative' farming techniques and technologies (intercropping, minimum tillage, grassing) to the organic farming systems of the Sicilian region, particularly on the most commonly present rotational arable crops and tree crops. The project is implemented by a partnership composed of five Sicilian farms, one private research organisation and two consulting companies.
Project objectives
The general objective of the SIC.A.RI.B. project is to develop an efficient and economically sustainable agricultural production model in the Sicilian territorial context, which at the same time allows farms to protect and improve the physical and biological quality of cultivated soils, increase the levels of biodiversity in the reference ecosystem, and operate an active and positive action in the carbon sequestration process and in the mitigation of climate change.
In particular, the objectives are:

-
Field event for the presentation of intercropping systems
At I Locandieri - Social Cooperative Society. Visiting the cultivations of the cooperative I Locandieri, committed to
