The Center for Agriculture Food Environment (C3A) was established in 2015 through a framework agreement between the University of Trento (Italy) and the Fondazione Edmund Mach (Italy). The core research of C3A focuses on agri-food, environment and forestry and is committed to seeking a critical balance between production and conservation of natural resources.
