The Department of Agriculture confirms its role as a driving force for innovation and ecological transition in the region.

The Department of Agriculture at the Università Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria is consolidating its position as a leading academic and scientific institution, deeply rooted in the local community yet focused on global challenges. Through a virtuous synergy between advanced research and high-level teaching, the Department continues to train highly qualified professionals capable of leading innovation and the ecological transition of agri-food and environmental businesses, both locally and nationally.

This ongoing commitment also translates into the promotion and support of high-profile scientific events. Among these, the recent conference focused on the region's vast resources, organized by SSEA (Experimental Station for the Citrus Essence and Derivatives Industries) in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, stands out.

On the sidelines of the event, the Department's Director, Professor Marco Poiana , highlighted the strategic value of this synergy, stating:
"Bergamot, through innovation, research, and sustainability, is the emblem of how our region's agricultural tradition can become a driver of global development." As the Department of Agriculture at the Università Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria, our mission is twofold: first, to apply cutting-edge scientific research to enhance these extraordinary identity matrices in a sustainable manner; second, to offer our students an excellent education that enables them to manage innovation processes, making them key players in our region's economic growth and environmental protection.
The event confirmed the University of Reggio Calabria's central role in shaping new models of sustainable development, capable of combining the preservation of local identities with competitiveness in international markets.
