Il ruolo green del tartufo in Aspromonte: conservazione e tutela ambientale per ripensare una geografia della montagna in aree marginali

Recent trends in forestry policy contribute to enriching the range of ecosystem services provided by the territory. They simultaneously concern human well-being, protection of biodiversity, cultural and recreational services and the economy of the system. The aim of the research is to identify potentially truffle-producing areas, to highlight how truffle grounds (natural or cultivated) can represent a concrete economic resource. Using official data from the Calabria Region, the map was created with the help of the QGIs software. The results are encouraging and highlight the potential and importance of investing in the green sector such as the truffle sector, aiming to improve sustainable management, new entrepreneurship to guarantee resilience of the mountains and inland areas of Calabria.
