The deadline for submitting applications is 1 July 2024, while the initiatives must be carried out in the period between 15 June and 30 September 2024.
“The valorization of the typical products of our Region – explains the councilor Righini – also passes through these initiatives which have the ability to involve many citizens who have the opportunity to know and taste the excellence of Lazio. Promotion, training and innovation are the three pillars in which as the Lazio Region we intend to invest to make our agri-food system increasingly competitive and in step with the times”, concluded Righini.
