Biogas Wipptal is a LIFE funded project and an excellent example of cooperation and innovative
solidarity. In fact Biogas Wipptal, founded in 2008, is a limited company that was created by
farmers and vineyards’ owners and employees of Northern Italy when they realized that their
cooperation could lead to reciprocal benefits. Specifically, farmers of Wipptal wanted to find a
solution for the excess of slurriesproduced whereas the one of the vineries were searching for
natural fertilisers. So, these different needs gave birth to the above mentioned project through
which these farmers find a solution to their “slurries problem”, nearby vineyards replaced
artificial fertilizers and moreover the surrounding community gained advantages.
