The Nando Peretti Foundation co-funded with the European Commission the AEMBAC project, an undertaking of the IUCN European Regional Office.

The overall objective of this project is to define a European framework for the development and evaluation of appropriate agricultural practices at the local level, which will both safeguard the environment and respect the social economy of the area.
