Agriculture as an instrument of inclusion, social redemption and hope for those who come from afar in search of a better future. This is the deepest meaning of the project carried out by Stefania Mazzotta, Agricultural entrepreneur of Francavilla Angitola, who thanks to the “Friends of the Earth friends – Stories of women who nourish the world” by women Coldiretti was able to expand their social farm with the purchase of a new land.
The Fattoria di Stefania has been a highly inclusive social agriculture model for years, which welcomes young non -EU migrants and people in a condition of unease, offering them a concrete opportunity for integration through agricultural work, the training and sharing of values related to the land and the community.
With the new investment, the company will be able to accommodate even more people, creating a place where those who come from difficult realities can feel welcomed, learn a job and contribute to collective well -being. A model that focuses on the dignity of the person, regardless of the origin, and which shows how agriculture can become a bridge between different cultures and a path of social development as well as economic.
“Stefania’s experience – says Coldiretti Calabria – shows that agriculture can be inclusive and solidarity, transforming itself into an instrument of integration and social redemption. Its farm represents a concrete example of how the earth can unite, breaking down barriers and creating community”.
Also the president of Coldiretti Calabria, Franco Acetounderlines the social value of the project: “Stefania shows every day that agriculture has no boundaries and can offer concrete answers to the needs of the most fragile people. We are proud to support initiatives such as his, which make Calabrian agriculture a model of solidarity and inclusive development, capable of welcoming and integrating even those who come from afar.”
