This initiative is designed to integrate seamlessly with the "Giardino Terapeutico", which will soon be built above the Sforza Pavilion.

ColtivaTo, the international Festival of Agriculture, took place in Turin over the weekend coinciding with World Water Day (March 22).

How to move humanity from planet reserves absorber to resource producer?

In line with the theme of Milano Design Week 2025 "Connected Worlds", LAND and Porsche Consulting will come together to highlight the multisectoral impact of the "Nature-Factory Manifesto", unveiled last January in Davos during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. This bold initiative envisions private companies transforming into “Factories of Nature,” embracing the role of resource producers rather than resource consumers. The event will take place at the LAND Terrace on April 9th, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM - in cooperation with Green City Italia.

The event organized by Green City Italia on the opening day of the most important gardening fair in Milan brought together global experts, institutions, and professionals for an engaging discussion on nature-based solutions for more sustainable and resilient cities.

Mobility and landscape are intrinsically linked, shaping how people navigate spaces. Mobility serves as the backbone of a functional system, while landscape provides the framework that sustains it. Our collective efforts emphasize the need to integrate both to create sustainable, meaningful environments.

At LAND, we believe schools should be dynamic ecosystems where learning, nature, and community converge. Our projects in the educational sector vividly illustrate how thoughtful landscape design can transform a school environment into a space that nurtures creativity, well-being, and sustainable growth.
