agriculture project. The EUR 6 million project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ESR) and is part of the UIA initiative, which aims to support innovative and experimental actions for urban development. OpenAgri, which will last 3 years, has been selected from over 370 proposals from all countries of the European Union.

The project envisages the creation of an excellent agricultural hub within the area of Porto di Mare, in the South East of Milan, able to combine culture, work placements, technologies for environmental sustainability and food education. At the heart of the project is Cascina Nosedo, which will become the new Open Innovation Hub and will integrate skills and new forms of entrepreneurship in the field of periurban agriculture.

Fundamental for the enhancement of urban and agricultural spaces and for the activation of a virtuous circuit will be the involvement of start-ups, research centers and think tanks for innovation.
