High mountain pastures. Vineyard-covered valleys. Crystal-clear lakes. Unspoilt forests. In Trentino, one breathes a healthy lifestyle devoted to well-being, where tradition becomes stronger thanks to innovation.
An area where artificial intelligence helps farmers make conscious and reasoned use of water resources.
Where researchers collaborate with farmers to find natural solutions to plant diseases.
Where drones spray the fields with insects instead of herbicides.
Where organic farming is rooted in the past, to grow its fruit in the future.
