The University of Calabria (UNICAL), a vital member of our consortium, brings exceptional expertise in innovation, gender studies, and rural development to the table. With a keen focus on empowering women, UNICAL will play a pivotal role in analysing and exploring the pathways and requirements for women-led sustainability innovations.

UNICAL’s objective is to deepen our understanding of the factors that contribute to the success and the obstacles faced by female-led sustainability innovation in both farming and rural areas. To achieve this, they will employ a robust methodology for the execution of case studies, and through delving into real-life examples, UNICAL aims to uncover valuable insights that will drive the advancement of gender-responsive solutions in the agricultural and rural domains.
