Products "made in Parabiago"
Products with a short chain to "cultivate" Parabiago
Parabiago is
your “field”: there is to plow, dig and hoe!
Hold your
hoe instinct : the project “Food, landscape and tradition up
to EXPO 2015” propose you to “cultivate” Parabiago to make
your sustainable daily food come also from there.
It is not
important if you do not own fields: you can cultivate them
by eating the De.C.O. products: this is the brand that
guarantees the origin of the products.

Deepening
In 2013 many local
stakeholders subscribed the cooperation pact concerning the
project “Food, landscape and tradition to EXPO 2015” by the
landscape Ecomuseum of Parabiago and by the Urban District
of Trade of Parabiago.
The result is
the assumption that Parabiago and the cultural heritage
should be «cultivate» to make your sustainable
daily food and the handcrafts come
also from there. It is not important if you
do not own lands or firms: the «field» can be «cultivate»
by eating and/or buying local food and craft products.
The project aims to make short, transparent and sustainable chains of food and crafts, through the activation of a network of subjects that connects production, processing activities and final consumption of products, testing an actual closing of the chain locally (production-processing-distribution). The short chain is a resource for the territory, also giving space to the role of agriculture in the management and maintenance of the territory as a development and enhancement tool of the landscape.
After a phase of experimental production of the “Parabiago bread”, that was distributed during local celebrations, the Parabiago Town Council voted to establish the Municipal Designation of Origin (De.C.O.) of the Municipality of Parabiago to take a census and enhance activities and traditional local products.
