Agri-Food & Research
Agri-Food & Research (AGER) was launched in 2008 and since then 32 projects have been funded with the aim of promoting the emergence of sustainable technologies in the agri-food sector, that can be easily adopted by people in the field.
Managed by Fondazione Cariplo, the programme supports research on the effects of climate change on glaciers, which provide valuable water for irrigation, and pastoral farming in Lombardy and is the largest agri-food research programme in Europe, carried out by 18 Italian foundations. This case study was published as part of Active Philanthropy’s Spotlight on Climate Funding Strategies.
