ROOTS is an inclusive community initiative that integrates environmental education, biodiversity preservation, and civic participation through social agriculture.
Implemented from May to October 2025 at Villa Zileri in Monteviale, Vincenza, Italy, the project transformed a shared garden into a collaborative space where citizens could engage in hands-on learning about regenerative agriculture, seed saving, and sustainable food practices. The initiative followed circular economy principles by promoting waste reduction, resource reuse, and biodiversity conservation, while encouraging a just and inclusive ecological transition.
Its outputs include a digital and printed practical guide in English and Italian, video tutorials and testimonials that document the project’s practices and outcomes, making them accessible for replication across Europe.
