The Agroterritori Foundation pursues sustainable development applied to agriculture with a markedly territorial character. Therefore, the general objective of the Agroterritory Foundation is the preservation, development and management of agricultural spaces, and especially peri-urban areas.

Its action is grounded in the following principles:

• That “there is no agricultural space without farmers”, which is why the AGROTERRITORI Foundation is concerned about the peri-urban agricultural territory and the continuity of the agricultural industry.
• That “the territory, landscape and peri-urban agricultural culture is very specific”, which is why the AGROTERRITORI Foundation contributes to critical knowledge of the initiatives capable of promoting transformations that make peri-urban territorial stability and the continuity of agricultural activity possible.
• That “the preservation, development and management of peri-urban spaces is not only the responsibility of the agricultural industry, but of society as a whole”, which is why the AGROTERRITORI Foundation is open to society based on the study, reflection, research and diffusion of any subject matter related the peri-urban territory and the agricultural activity developed there.
