The project is meant to support a small group of farmers from Malles, Val Venosta, and to start a project with and for them, helping to solve one of the problems they face at their work. We, together with the farmers, decided to set up a direct, long-term connection between them and consumers in Bolzano through a food box subscription. The project is the base for an independent, circular and solidary community between the two parties in which not only the exchange of money and products is concerned, but as well the exchange of knowledge, time and real support. Excluding middlemen and other intermediary actors all resources are kept in a clear and overseeable circle of people, who commit altogether to a socially fair and environmentally sustainable way of acting. We (and the farmers) believe that a real and trustworthy relation can help both parties to understand each other‘s needs and prerequisites better and to then act accordingly.
