A hands-on workshop in the Simeto Valley explored regenerative farming, syntropic agriculture, and ecosystem resilience. Discover how communities are healing the land.
On 5 June 2025, the Italian case study of BIOTraCes held a major public event in the Simeto Valley (Sicily), as part of the Facciamo la Valle community festival. The event brought together researchers, local actors, and national experts to reflect on how renewable energy is shaping landscapes, ecosystems, and social relations in one of Italy’s most dynamic rural regions.
Join us for a coffee chat with Samadhi Lipari, a geographer and researcher at the University of Catania (UNICT). He contributes to the case study on “Simeto River Alliance for Biodiversity” about grassroots groups who fight for ecological recovery and protection of the Simeto River on Sicily. Samadhi´s specific focus within this research is on photovoltaic energy production in the River valley.
