The CSA Semi di Comunità is now a consolidated reality in the Roman agricultural environment, in fact we are the first agricultural reality that has decided not to sell vegetables! We self-produce food in our large garden, deciding together what, how and how much to plant. Every Wednesday we divide the entire harvest equally among the members, reducing waste to a minimum and also distributing products that for aesthetic reasons would not be sold at the supermarket, this practice allows us to reduce any food waste to a minimum. The participation of members in agricultural activities in the fields is among the fundamental practices of our project, this allows us to transmit knowledge, share experiences, work side by side, share moments of conviviality and build bonds of friendship.

The camp is located at the gates of Rome, isolated inside the Veio park, 15 km from the GRA and 10 km from the first urban center. Getting to the city is not easy because it takes 30 minutes of walking to get to the first bus. On Sundays the bus does not pass and if you want to get to the train station (Labaro or Prima Porta) you need to call a taxi.
