Objective
To perform an agro-industrial initiative with the aim of introducing innovative activities suitable to create environmental protection and socio-economical productive implementations, on some agricultural lands actually lost or with depletion in progress.
The project foresees the implementation of a model suitable to manage the marginal lands ensuring a sustainable development of the rural environment. Broom, an environmental friendly crop, can be cultivated with innovative methodologies, allowing economic yield and new employment. Broom suitable for the production of fibre, was in the past a very interesting crop in the Mediterranean regions, but it was left, because of the development of other fibre crops (cotton, flax) with easier cropping facilities, but also with a worse enviromental impact due to the large need of chemicals (fertilisers, weed controls). Broom belongs to the leguminosae species (self fertilising) and it is so strong to gain against weeds. Broom's root apparatus allows the safeguard of soils from slides. The Broom's fibres can be utilised as textile fibre and as reinforcement of composite materials substituting polluting fibres like asbestos and glass fibre. The project includes the agronomic phase, the realisation of an harvesting machine, the realisation of a fibre extraction farm unit, tests and trials, information diffusion.
