Environmental activity and voluntary work 

The Terredelsud association  began its activity in October, 2001 (the international year of voluntary work) with the primary aim of bringing the world of  science and  technique closer  to that of the missions, or, at least, to those places of the planet where there are the greatest human and environmental difficulties. 

The principal activity of this Organisation is therefore that of rousing, above all, the Faculties of Agriculture and the Technicians to the research needs of developing countries or, at least, those territories where the irrational use of the resources has unbalanced the original relationship between man and his environment. For this reason the principle of Sustainable Development has been introduced, a theory which is still theoretical and, in any case, seen through the point of view of western countries.

We are convinced that only a model of research open to every demand and human tradition can assure a true balance between man and the environment while respecting both the principle of man’s vocations and the ecosystem, and can really make people understand the true sense of Sustainable Development in a world which is increasingly globalized. 

It is for this reason that the principal activity of Terredelsud is aimed towards the territories of the third world where there is underway an operational collaboration of a scientific and technical nature.

To have up-to-date information on these territories and on the projects underway you can visit the page - Presences in the Territory - and to have more information you can write to us at the e-mail address nelmondo@terredelsud.org, or by letter at the following address:
