The Sicilian Agroecology Coordination promotes, at regional, national and European level, the themes of agroecology and all aspects connected with it.
The activity aims, therefore, at the preparation of documents, deeds and documents that become the basis and foundation for every activity both in the scientific and technical and in the cultural and legislative fields.
The Association’s priority objective is to dictate guidelines in the sector of agroecology and the protection of biodiversity and the ecological protection of natural habitats and agricultural and forestry areas.
Furthermore, the coordination also turns its attention to the preparation of documents and guidelines in the ecological planning of inhabited centers and the relationships between city and countryside, through its balances and dynamics.
