Entity Profile (Please describe the organisation activities relevant with the topic selected)
ASSAM activities cover several fields to support the sustainable and competitive growth of the agro-food enterprises: energy efficiency promotion, forestry, biodiversity, truffle/olive/fruit farming and production, traceability system. The Agency offers a range of services from training paths to update/create competences on traditional (olive production, truffles production, fruit farming) and innovative sectors (e.g social agriculture, animal welfare…) to agriculture weather forecasts for farmers, laboratories analysis, traceability system, quality certification, plant disease control towards producers and consumers. Thanks to the technical competences and the growing experience in managing projects (LIFE+, INTERREGIVC, IPA CBC), ASSAM built up a transnational network of operational and institutional partners to design and implement EU projects in the agro-food sector, facing, in the meantime, the main EU challenges. Climate changes, energy efficiency, training and competences updating, innovation are some of the EU challenges which the agro-food sector should tackles to improve its efficiency and competitiveness. In this framework, ASSAM plays a complementary and operational role to concretely achieve the regional and EU programmes’ goals.

chains. Thanks to biotechnology applications, traditional matrices can be
transformed into bioactive molecules or innovative substrates for agri-food
needs.
Expertise offered
The valorization of by-products is a key objective for ATPr&d in order to
reduce the use of new resources and follow the eco-sustainability principles.
Properly processed and treated by-products can act as raw material to
produce high value materials as functional ingredients, alternative proteins,
and bioactive molecules. We are interested in fermentation processes,
enzimatic threatments and use of insects in food and feed application.

Our proposal is based on our collaboration with the Israeli company Vertical
field Ltd an expert for vertical gardening which developed a unique
technology and is responsible for for more than 200 evergreens, large-scale,
sustainable projects all over the world.
The educational program is "taylor made" adapted to the age of participants
and school vision. On May 2018, Grow High finished its pilot in a high school
in Carate Brianza near Monza, Italy. A 30 hours workshop was given to 50
students in the 10th grade and in the end we did Pasta al Pesto with the
fresh, organic, 0km, tasty basil!

Entity Profile (Please describe the organisation activities relevant with the topic selected)
The Institute focuses on scientific research, experimentation and services in
the area of reproductive technologies applied to selection of domestic
animals. The research activities are mainly based on experimental
embryology, fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS), seminology,
cryobiology, molecular genetics, genomics and proteomics. The research
studies include: animal reproduction, genetic selection including the study of
resistance to diseases, population genetics, bioinformatics and statistics,
food safety of animal products, toxicology and antibiotic resistance. In
addition, it takes part in the genetic typization and characterization of
endangered species and in traceability of food of animal origin. The species
of interest range from domestic mammals to fishes and bees. At a national
level the Institute performs the Official Control of animal frozen semen
collected in and/or imported into Italy. Among the statutory purposes of the
Institute is the activity of planning and providing advanced training courses in
the veterinary, agro-zootechnical and applied biology areas.

Entity Profile (Please describe the organisation activities relevant with the topic selected)
We already protect biodiversity of our landscape: we grow our raw materials
on particularly fertile and quality soils, whose conformation is naturally
suitable for the organic cultivation, avoiding soil degradation.
Our activity is strictly related to our region and all our products are made of
local raw materials and we work with a short distribution chain, to enanche
territory.
Our products are organic and safe, we avoid using any herbicide or other
harmful to health substances. We're going to implement the reuse of
agricultural waste and the enrichment of the soil with the self-produced
organic substance, according to the principles of circular economy.
We are always looking for new possibilities of innovation for the respect of
the environment. For example in the project for our new plant we're going to
produce solar energy and re-use it in the production process, avoiding
pollution and waste of energy.
So we desire being involved in a project for the defense of biodiversity
making available all our activities and know how.
