The city of Milan with this UIA European Project is experimenting a very innovative policy: new economic and entrepreneurial activities will be located within an agricultural urban plot. This will lead to a new local economy ecosystem. It’s a risky and unprecedented trial that we think it’s worth pursuing.

Openagri project is really a startup itself: it put together all the different parts of the agriculture economic chain, from production to distribution.
