GHG Emissions Reduction & Sequestration - Afforestation/Reforestation - Future Radici (Lanuvio-Roma-Lazio)

The Real Case VPA Future Radici, Lanuvio represents a pivotal and strategic initiative within the broader framework of the Programme of Activities (PoA) Future Radici. Located in the municipality of Lanuvio (Rome), the project spans a total area of 403.9 hectares across three agricultural estates: Solonio, Presciano, and Campoleone. These lands are owned by Leone Alato SpA. The project envisions the planting of approximately 422,000 trees, with the goal of transforming these agricultural lands into thriving, biodiverse forest ecosystems. The primary objective of the Real Case of Lanuvio is to establish native and ecologically rich forest environments through a combination of afforestation and agroforestry practices. These practices are carefully tailored to the pedoclimatic and ecological characteristics of each site, ensuring that the interventions enhance biodiversity, support complex habitats, and maximize long-term carbon sequestration. The forest models adopted in this project are non-extractive, the harvesting of timber or biomass is explicitly excluded. This commitment extends for a minimum duration of 60 years. To quantify the carbon absorption, the project will rely on met
