The Region of Tuscany, through the Giovanisì project, has launched a call addressed to agricultural entrepreneurs to support investments in farms, favouring innovative and sustainable practices. This funding programme aims to promote a more ethical farming model that is attentive to animal welfare, with a focus on biosecurity and housing conditions.

Goals of the Call

The call offers support for investments aimed at ensuring a more ethical and healthy living environment for animals, promoting the adaptation of facilities and technologies to improve overall care and welfare. Among the eligible interventions are:

  • Precision animal husbandry: purchase of technologies and sensors to monitor animal welfare and environmental conditions on farms.
  • Biosecurity: installation of fencing and video surveillance systems to protect animal health.
  • Improvement of living conditions: work on facilities to increase space, facilitate access to pasture and provide areas for care and shelter.
Grants and subsidies for Young Farmers

The notice provides for a contribution of up to 350,000 euro per investment. Farmers under 41 are also eligible for a subsidy of 80% on the investment, with an additional score to facilitate young people’s access to financing.

Interested parties can submit their application online through the ARTEA platform by 15 November, following the instructions on the official website of the Region of Tuscany.
This call, financed by the 2021-2027 EAFRD Rural Development Programme, represents a valuable opportunity to make Tuscan agriculture increasingly sustainable, attentive to the quality of life of animals and the health of the environment.

A city accessible to large urban areas

The city of Grosseto lies on the Rome-Livorno road axis and is connected to the large urban areas of Siena and Florence via the E78.

 

With regard to the Rome-Livorno axis (the so-called Tirrenica), the Italian government has announced that in 2025 work will begin on upgrading and securing one of the territory’s main road axes, with plans to upgrade, among other things, the Grosseto south-San Pietro in Palazzi section and the central section from Ansedonia to Grosseto.

 

As for the Siena-Grosseto link, work is under way to upgrade the E78 to four lanes .

The work specifically concerns a section of about 11.8 kilometers and affects the municipalities of Sovicille, Murlo and Monticiano.

 

The work, for a total investment of 195 million euros, consists of upgrading the SS223 “di Paganico” to four lanes by building a new carriageway alongside the existing one.

 

Grosseto also has a civil airport (Grosseto Airport-Seam Spa), which currently serves private flights, with a very strong charter traffic of about 1,500 charter flights a year for business and tourist visits.
