The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP) includes a package of investments and reforms divided into six missions: Digitalization,

Innovation, Competitiveness and Culture; Green Revolution and Ecological Transition;
Infrastructure for sustainable mobility;
Education and research; Inclusion and cohesion; Health.

It aims to encourage recovery, solidarity donations, and distribution of food and medicines and whose central goal is to reduce waste at various

stages of the supply chain, starting from production and processing, and ending with distribution and serving of food.

Now fishermen are allowed to bring back to land the waste (plastic waste) accidentally recovered with their nets in the sea. This regulatory

instrument fills the previous gap where fishermen were fined every time they acted as guardians of the seas.

It aims to encourage recovery, solidarity donations, and distribution of food and medicines and whose central goal is to reduce waste at various

stages of the supply chain, starting from production and processing, and ending with distribution and serving of food.

City of Naples has signed the SprecoZero Charter and joins the campaign against food waste promoted by Last Minute Market and Slow Food.

The operation consists of the recovery and reuse of unsold goods to give them to those most in need.

Ensure the collaboration with companies and trade associations that tomorrow will be able to implement on a large scale the models tested.

Create a management model capable of involving all stakeholders in a harmonious way to give the right operational tools to ensure the ecosystem a flexible and inclusive structure that
promotes economic development, which aims at social cohesion, and facilitates the spread and scalability in the territory. Therefore the management model for the use of different tools
starting from the uniqueness of a place, such as Pollica and the Mediterranean Basin, that naturally combines diversity and dialogue between cultures and peoples. This aspect has already
started happening by exporting the model in Japan in other FF Living Labs (Kyobashi Living Lab) where Japanese stakeholders attended lessons and meetings with the FF Circle to learn the
management model.

Ensure the activation and empowerment of people in the area, through the creation of a model that does not focus on mere profit as an end but on the community, understood as the
virtuous encounter between territory and people
Integrated policies for the regeneration of the area and the whole Mediterranean sea starting from the role of local regenerative fishermen
Foster forms of innovation that do not disrupt the identity of the place and the traditional knowledge of the community, but stand in support and defense of these aspects.

Embracing (and communicating) a real holistic and multidimensional model of an integral ecological approach, free of the risks of excessive specialization and sectionalization
Developing tools capable of successfully evaluating the different levels of complexity and the interrelationships with all key stakeholders and measuring the impacts that is crucial also to
communicate it externally
Regenerating a rural territory in a participatory way in order to bring about truly sustainable and integral development for the community in a persistent way
Lack of spaces, places of aggregation, to encourage casual collisions and create the ideal environment to encourage poetic acts, in the sense of poiesis (creation), to give expression to art,
train creativity, and (re)generate culture.

Overcoming the current depopulation, unemployment, and education dropout trends characterizing the area to improve livelihoods in order to generate collective prosperity
Encourage individuals to think and act in coherence with the Mediterranean principles

Strengthen the collaboration between the UNESCO network of Emblematic Communities of Mediterranean Diet, restoring the Mediterranean area to its former value and reawakening
dormant resources

Valorizing the soft power of the Mediterranean Diet as a model to ensure integral ecological development of rural-urban areas

Create an integral ecological model of regeneration that can be replicable and scalable in other CRFS

What are
constraints/limitations:
Climate Change as a
serious risks in terms of
survival of iconic
Mediterranean foods;
land abandonment;
Accelerating agricultural
changes, modification of
precipitation patterns,
desertification;

Are resources available: resources from the FF
team that is based in
Pollica, the Castello if
Pollica as a facility, the
memorandum of
Understanding between
FFI and other UN
agencies

Expected outcome:
Creation of a Food
Coalition for the
Mediterranean to support
innovative solution for the
sustainable development

of the Mediterranean agri-
food supply chains;

implementation in the
local territory of
technologies for
preventing water stress,
soil regeneration,
biodiversity protection
and valorisation;
development of
educational courses on
regenerative agriculture
and Mediterranean regeneration; creation of
a Mediterranean
Regeneration Academy,
designed for local farmers,
neets and migrants to
train them on
Mediterranean
regenerative agriculture.
Why it is important: Earth
regeneration passes
through the deep
relationship between
man, the Planet, and all
the living entities living on
that. It implies restoring
the ancient wisdom on
regenerative and
sustainable practices,
favouring a responsible
and efficient usage of
natural resources,
enhancing the role of
innovation and
technologies to increase
the resilience of the whole
natural ecosystem,
implementing adaptation
and mitigation strategies,
and promoting climate
-
smart approaches. In this
delicate relationship, man
should return to be
conceived in its ancient
form of precious guardian
of nature and custodian of
beauty to be shared and
transmitted to new
generations to ensure
sustainable models for the
future.

What are
constraints/limitations:
Social desertification;
land abandonment;
economic
desertification;
Unemployment and

depopulation; Ultra-
peripheral area with

limited professional
opportunities and
infrastructural
difficulties;
Concentration of
services in a few
polarizing centers;
Inefficient connection
and poor infrastructures
Are resources available:
resources from the FF
team that is based in
Pollica, the Castello of
Pollica as a facility.

What are
constraints/limitations:
Poor human health;
Widespread obesity and

overweight; Poor-to-
moderate adherence to

the Mediterranean
lifestyle
Are resources available:
partnership/MoU with
Strobilo Start up and
resources from the FF
team that is based in
Pollica

Expected outcome:
Development of digital
health (tele-medicine,

tele-assistance, and tele-
consultation);

Development of health
and climate-tech projects
that relies on the most
advanced neurosciences’
techniques in combination
with AI to study
environmental
parameters in conjunction
with the vital parameters
of individuals; the 

ambition is that of
creating an algorithm of
longevity and human well
-

being.
Why it is important:
Frenetic lifestyles, the rise
in malnutrition and
disease, and mental
disorders clearly
demonstrate how much
modernity have been
separated our individual
lives from well
-being and
quality of life. It is
impossible to pursue any
integrity of ecosystems
and any form of collective
prosperity without first
pursuing the integrity of
human life. Human
regeneration starts right
here: bringing back to the
center well
-being in our
daily lives. Health,
nourishment, micro
-
nutrients, longevity, and
mental balance are all
aspects that are linked to
human regeneration,
which passes through
food, the oldest and most
effective medicine,
through technological
innovations capable of
monitoring our state of
health (physical and
mental), but also through
a more real and direct
relationship with the
natural territory
(biophilia).

Why it is important:
Economic regeneration
means to free prosperity
from being conceived as
mere economic and
financial growth to
embrace ecosystemic
thinking. It is an approach
that holistically promotes
well-being: financial gain
next to emotional-,

physical-, mental-, social-
and human development. Economic regeneration
means opening the road
towards new forms of
economy: the care
economy, the beauty
economy, and the
collective wellbeing
economy; opening up
toward new indicators of
prosperity: Key People
and Planet Prosperity
Indicators rather than sole
Key Performance
Indicators.
