The INNOVARURALE Portal (https://www.innovarurale.it) has been created to respond to a request for information and collaboration directed at the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies (MIPAAF) by representatives of the broad scope to which it pertains.

The project aims to cultivate vegetables for the fourth range in protected cultivation in two agricultural enterprises in the Piana del Sele, both in organic and conventional methods, testing vermicompost as an amendment and biostimulant.
