The aim of the piloting action in Malta is to create a new model and alternative as multifunctional farm to fulfil its role of promoting the means of modern nutrition  against food allergies & food intolerances (like histamine intolerance) as the growing illness in the society. By informing people about the required skills and competencies which are required in social farming & social entrepreneurship  mainly for the social care related religious & another non-profit organisations.

The pilot case will use the experiences of local senior farmers in the selected land of Church Home for the Elderly in Dar tal-Kleru in Birkirkara , by producing spices & medical herbs (like holy basil , peppermint , ginger , thyme , and turmeric) as raw materials . The short food supply chain will be deployed from the seed and production until the post-harvest  through the traceability system ,supported by IoT, Data and Blockhain technologies.

The social farming system and daily management structure will offer services/ activities to develop training to provide volunteers, farmers and active seniors with the necessary skills to develop or improve these services/ activities on this farm. Multi functionality recognises the inter connectedness of agriculture’s different roles and functions beyond safer food production for social, environmental and economic sustainability.
