Agronomic consulting: professional services

With over thirty years of experience in the sector, Aprus offers specialized agronomic consulting services across the agricultural, livestock, forestry, agritourism, agro-industrial, and rural tourism industries. While our work has been primarily focused in Umbria, Tuscany, Lazio, and Marche, we have also successfully managed projects throughout Italy.

We are committed to making a difference in technical, economic, and administrative consulting, design, and implementation. With a strong focus on the sustainability of every project, we offer a comprehensive advisory service that also includes building renovations.

Consulting and Design for the Agricultural, Livestock, Forestry, Agro-Industrial, Agritourism, and Rural Tourism Sectors

Our consulting and design services are tailored for businesses in the rural sector looking to innovate their production models and develop new technical and economic projects. Specifically, we offer both technical and economic-administrative advisory services for purchasing land and rural buildings, implementing land improvements (such as establishing vineyards, olive groves, orchards, irrigation reservoirs, and related irrigation systems), and building or renovating production facilities (olive mills, wineries, warehouses, etc.) or structures dedicated to rural tourism and hospitality (agritourisms and their connected restaurants).

For construction and renovation projects linked to a farm improvement plan managed under our agricultural consultancy, we handle every stage of the process, including project design, applying for permits and authorizations from public administrations, and construction management.

Advisory Services for EU, National, and Regional Rural Development Grants and Funding

We stand alongside our clients to provide targeted consulting for participating in tenders and funding opportunities within the agricultural, agro-industrial, agritourism, forestry, rural tourism, and livestock sectors, focusing on the CSR – Rural Development Complement framework.

Indeed, many of the land investments described above, as well as the purchase of machinery and equipment, can benefit from non-repayable grants. Access to these funds is achieved by applying for the specific measures and calls outlined in the various Rural Development Programs.

Forestry Consulting

In the forestry sector, Aprus provides strategic consulting and design services, specializing in the development of forest management plans and harvesting plans.

Consulting for Agricultural and Livestock Farms Focused on Environmental Sustainability and Quality Production

Our advisory services are dedicated to agricultural and livestock farms that prioritize environmental sustainability and the quality of their production.

We support our clients in transitioning their farms to organic farming systems and in obtaining prestigious quality certifications, such as PDO, PGI, TSG, DOCG, DOC, and PGI.

Environmental Assessments and Authorizations Studies

Thanks to the expertise of our multidisciplinary team, Aprus prepares specialized studies aimed at assessing the environmental and landscape sustainability of plans and projects affecting rural areas.

Our services include the development of:

• EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment);
• SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment);
• AA (Appropriate Assessment / Habitats Directive Assessment).

Environmental Rehabilitation Projects for Quarries and Degraded Production Sites

In addition to our work in the landscape sector for parks and gardens, Aprus provides expert consulting and design services for the environmental rehabilitation of degraded industrial and production sites, such as quarries. We achieve this through the design of soil bioengineering works and tailored planting plans using selected trees and shrubs.

For these projects, Aprus is fully equipped to deliver a “turnkey” design and implementation service for the entire environmental recovery process.

Urban and Rural Afforestation Projects

Climate change demands ever-increasing attention to environmental policies that prioritize urban and rural afforestation projects.

Sustainability is a core value we strongly believe in; this is why we are the technical and scientific partner of Wonder K Green srl for the establishment and management of tree plantations and the production of high-quality, fast-growing timber using the Paulownia species.
