In recent years, some farms have begun to recognize the importance of changing their approach to agriculture — shifting from exploiting to regenerating the natural resources on which they depend. Today, regenerative agriculture is one of the most promising paths toward building a production model that safeguards soil, climate, and biodiversity.

For companies and public administrations, environmental sustainability projects turn goals on biodiversity, climate, and community well-being into measurable and verifiable results. The key to success lies in a scientific approach, co-design with local stakeholders, and the ability to create shared value for the environment, the economy, and society.

In Italy, over one-third of the territory is covered by forests, but many of them are now abandoned. Small, fragmented properties—often in remote areas and owned by elderly or untraceable proprietors—make effective forest management difficult. This leads to environmental, social, and economic consequences: forests become more vulnerable to the effects of the climate crisis, the risks of fires and hydrogeological instability increase, and the natural and productive heritage is gradually impoverished.

In recent years, an increasing number of companies have started setting climate targets aligned with science. These so-called science-based targets allow businesses to align their strategies with global climate scenarios, providing a clear and verifiable framework to reduce emissions. In this article, we explore what these targets are, how the SBTi (Science Based Targets Initiative) and SBTN (Science Based Targets Network) initiatives work, and what advantages they offer compared to other sustainability standards. A useful overview for those looking to start or strengthen their ecological transition journey.

Slow tourism is a response to the saturation of fast, quantity-driven tourism that prioritizes ticking off places rather than truly experiencing them. It also addresses the need to create new models for valuing territories. More and more destinations are choosing to invest in soft mobility, local experiences, and longer stays to improve the quality of their offer, better distribute economic benefits, and promote more respectful ways for visitors to connect with places. In this article, we explore what slow tourism really means, why it’s gaining momentum, and how Etifor can support destinations in this transition.

Those who work with the land today have a real opportunity: transforming forests and green areas into allies against the climate crisis. Environmental mitigation is not an abstract concept—it’s a set of real, measurable, and fundable actions. In this article, we explain why mitigation is essential for ecosystem managers, how to implement it, and which tools can help you make a difference.

Climate change is making Europe the fastest-warming continent on Earth. Extreme events such as floods, droughts and heatwaves are becoming increasingly frequent and intense, with serious impacts on health, the economy, and ecosystems. In this context, water—a limited and essential resource—can no longer be taken for granted.

In several parts of the world, forests are now emitting more carbon dioxide than they absorb. This challenges the traditional view of forests as our best allies in fighting climate change. The most striking case is Canada, where millions of hectares of forest have shifted from being carbon sinks to becoming net sources of emissions.
Read MoreForests should act as carbon sinks. But in some regions, they have become net emitters of CO₂ — a clear sign that new management strategies are urgently needed.

The European Union has introduced a new regulation—the EUDR (Deforestation-free Products Regulation)—which sets strict criteria to ensure that products placed on the market are not linked to deforestation. This article explains what supply chain traceability is, why it’s essential to address new legal requirements, and how Etifor can help companies turn this obligation into an opportunity for innovation and competitiveness—thanks to the EMMA approach.

Each time soil loses its fertility, structure, or biodiversity, we also lose the invisible yet essential services that ensure food security, water quality, and climate stability. Soil degradation is a silent but devastating process, often underestimated. Understanding its causes and effects—and especially being able to quantify its impact on ecosystem services—is the first step toward regenerating landscapes and building more resilient territories.
