Sowing resilience: agriculture as a starting point

In the agricultural and forested areas of West Beqaa, we promote practices that improve soil fertility, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, optimize water use, and limit emissions. This also includes replacing diesel-powered irrigation systems with solutions powered by solar energy.

Restoring natural environments

The project also implements concrete restoration actions: in wetlands, we expand water storage areas such as ponds and basins, while in degraded forest areas we plant native species to restore ecological value to the land.

Data and protocols for sustainable management

Monitoring the health of soil, biodiversity, and water resources is key to guide effective decisions. For this reason, our environmental experts are regularly in the field, collecting data and developing technical protocols—indispensable tools for the effective management of natural resources.

Knowledge exchange and agricultural innovation

To spread innovative approaches, we create bridges between Lebanon and Italy. Successful experiences from the agricultural and research sectors, such as those of the Consorzio Chianti Classico, are shared with Lebanese farmers, technicians, and administrators through theoretical and practical training programmes. In addition, financial education activities for small producers and agricultural enterprises aim to facilitate access to credit and promote responsible investments.

Planting the seed of awareness

Schools and local communities are also active participants in the project. Through environmental education programmes and awareness-raising initiatives, we help foster a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting natural resources, because change begins with people.
