The cooperation project proposes: - to create a network of rural services: formation of a network - to create a “manual” of multi-functionality in agriculture (services and good practices inherent in the diversification of agricultural activity) to deepen the inherent themes in multi-functionality in order to supply support to agricultural companies for the start-up of differentiated services, in regards to their primary activity. The manual will be sup-ported by ICT. - to create a tourism and enogastronomy guide for multi-functionality in agriculture where all the agricultural businesses in a position to supply tourism services are indi-cated (e.g. gardens, lodgings, horse riding, hunting, educational and social farm tours). The guide will be supported by ICT and will include a multimedia section and short films of the area and the rural landscape. - to create “education on rural life” through work groups, round tables, seminars & workshops, educational and folklore tours and furthermore create a calendar of the seasons and rural events. This action intends to incentivise the process of integration between countryside and city, interest in which has grown notably in recent years both in the area of agricultural businesses and in the field of schools and public opinion
