As part of the degree course in Agri-Food Sustainability at the University of Pavia, a teaching module dedicated to the topic of 'Agro-ecology and conservation of biodiversity' by two professors from the University of California-Berkeley has begun.

They are Clara Ines Nicholls and Miguel A. Altieri.

The experience also included a field trip to Oltrepò to discover three farms specialising in wine and olive oil production to talk about cultivation, production, marketing in the context of climate change and the future of agriculture.
