Life, work and tourism close to nature.

Today, technologies offer us the chance to live and work in an increasingly independent way from the place where are located, yet without becoming isolated.
Simultaneously, the environmental emergency is generating a new sensitivity that demands a return to the rhythms and places of nature.
The known agricultural model is experiencing difficulties, squeezed between the distribution chain that has eroded almost all its earnings and the dependency (even in terms of production choices) on EU funds.

A new model of suburban settlement is the challenge for integrating the needs and offerings of different economic categories that today are unanswered:

• agriculturists seeking to break away from the EU system who view direct relationships with clients as a new business possibility;
• technologically up-to-date professionals and creatives seeking a lifestyle more in harmony with nature;
• property investors seeking new residential ideas in a market saturated with offers yet reluctant to change.

Together they can set up new economic landmarks in the local area.
