The “Vera Simenza” project promotes and develops a social farming model for people with disabilities and people with autism spectrum disorders, with the aim of supporting them and encouraging inclusion and active participation. In all, the project involved 27 users with disabilities.

The project brought different kinds of expertise together: social cooperatives, farms, plant nurseries and institutions worked side by side to offer participants a wide range of experiences and learning opportunities.

Working with such different organisations made it possible to create a genuine interweaving of human capital, environment, training and inclusion, while also making the most of the farming vocation of the area.
