Description

The results and knowledge acquired by the previous GERMONTE projects carried out by UNISG on the regional territory need first of all to be harmonised and disseminated.

The tools identified for the dissemination of culture related to agrobiodiversity are:

activities closely related or preparatory to the operation of the National Biodiversity Network of agricultural and food interest, in implementation of Article 4 of Law No. 194/2015;
activities related to the establishment and/or animation of biodiversity routes of agricultural and food interest, in implementation of Article 12 of Law No. 194/2015;
