So if I’m thinking about people who do animal production in an outdoor system, our regions is one of the critical areas for avian influenza, so the farmers are interested in keeping hens for selling eggs, in some moments of the year, especially in the winter, this is very critical from a Mediterranean point of view, so this can be a barrier for organic production, to keep the animal outside.
Another problem is when you’re introducing agroforestry, you’re losing part of your area of soil and in the small-sized farms, this can be a problem for them.

Within the project to boost agroforestry and mixed agriculture systems are social goals, as farms explore the possibility of opening to provide spaces for education, programs to include disadvantaged workers and the creation of housefarms.
With AGROMIX, the participants in the Veneto region will gain access to knowledge and technical assistance on farm resilience and diversification, sustainable land management, nature-based solutions and recycling practices as well as insight into the interaction of livestock, trees and arable land to boost biodiversity and soil fertility.
