To develop a strategy for implementing production on site through a landscape-friendly intervention

Strategic proposal:
Maximisation of the territory's potential in order to increase productivity and public use through the cultivation of ‘green’ products for sale and supply, and the creation of a social (pedestrian) friendly environment.
