NAZARENO
To enhance such great, latent potential with the goal to limit rural depopulation and empower the local economy, BIOPHILIA is currently working with the Nazareno community to build up an equipped laboratory that will allow to process and transform the local plants and herbs into a unique resource.
.
The project will contribute to create a set of new labour and employment opportunities, through the sustainable exploitation of the natural resources. BIOPHILIA will provide the community with a diversified program of specialized professional training, empowering Nazareno’s productive potential — and will contribute to develop and commercialize a portfolio of essential oils, tea and infusions, among other regional products with high added value.
.
The productive flow will be shaped and organized to preserve and enhance both biodiversity and the traditional knowledge, while reinforcing the local economy and Nazareno’s cultural heritage.
