The project developed under the banner of Sicilia Integra – an official contribution to the SDGs implementation- aims to strengthen the socio-economic integration of refugees and migrants arriving in Sicily through sustainable community and agro-ecology capacity building activities with the view of creating an alternative trading platform for the commercialisation of Sicilian organic products in European markets.
