Context

The following needs have been identified:

  • for the Sant'Ambrogio Market - to intercept new users, especially the student population and other users of the meal-away-from-home by offering quality products "at zero kilometer", the need to innovate the products offered by the market, perhaps by proposing foods not to be transformed (for e.g. fruit, vegetables, dairy products) with the exception of any blending, spinning, homogenization operations; retaining market users by offering them seasonal products in the box with an assortment of products from the basket 
  • for farms - possibility of increasing their turnover in order to stimulate further business investments and diversification of production. Need to acquire new skills both in the production sector (agricultural production and product transformation) and in the promotion sector
