We will support the implementation of a community agri-food products transformation centre and machinery sharing. This is aimed at sustaining the networking among community-based cooperatives that are part of the Borghi In Rete network.

We strive to support the creation of network dynamics among deeply rooted community cooperatives who have the ability to enhance the intangible culture of the places and the people who inhabit them. This approach not only strengthens the bonds within the community but also promotes the unique and invaluable cultural heritage of each location, thereby fostering cultural innovation.

To improve mobility, we will experiment with shared transportation models in remote areas. Central here is mobility as a topic not only of environmental sustainability but also of social justice. Rural areas are systematically deprived of accessing primary services. Therefore, focus is on creating sustainable and inclusive transportation that can ensure equitable access to essential services for all residents.

Strengthening the proximity welfare for the older people will be based on both monitoring with a digital bracelet connected to a control center monitored by a socio-health cooperative, and community home care provided by the community cooperative. This approach aims to combat loneliness that older people often experience and to ensure that they are also emotionally supported, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
