Pangea s.c.Member

PANGEA SC consortium operates nationally and internationally in the agro-forestry, architectural, environmental and infrastructure sectors.

PANGEA uses participatory approaches and multidisciplinary methodologies to design interventions to defend the land and its people, soil, water, and natural resources, particularly against catastrophic events, both natural and man-made, through Spatial Planning, Land Management, and Sustainable Development.

The Pangea consortium operates in 5  macro sectors:

• Agriculture, rural development and forestry
• Environment and climate change
• Urban planning, heritage and local development
• Architecture and engineering
• Technical assistance and institutional building

In the area of "Agriculture, rural development and forestry" and , "Remote sensing and mapping using high resolution drone imagery", Pangea build a recognised  leadership on control and monitoring activities, through projects such as  of "Agro-Engineering and controls in agriculture, satellite photo interpretation (LPIS)", "Farm accountancy data network" (FADN)”, "On-the-spot controls in agriculture"The "Geographical Information System (GIS) implementation services" is a spatial system that creates, manages, analyzes and maps different families of  data. In addition to these, there are more general activities in "Remote sensing and mapping using high resolution drone imagery".

PANGEA, during its 20+ years of operation, gained  a large experience and specific expertise in "Forest fire fighting training" and "Land maintenance plans national park for rural and mountain areas" andimplemented international projects in different areas of the world.

To this respect, the consortium has developed great capabilities in the topics of "Urban regeneration, "Local development plans", "Restoration of historical heritage" and "Cultural centers, Museums and sports centers". Pangea is also engaged in drafting plans for the creation of smarter and environmentally sustainable cities, focusing on "Cycle and walking paths," "Smart mobility", and "Smart cities."

Directly linked to the "Urban planning, heritage and local" sector are "Architecture and engineering" activities with the drafting of "Urban Plans." In particular, Pangea focuses on mobility in all its aspects, including projects in "Roads, Railway, port and airport design," keeping the goal of "Sustainable mobility" firmly fixed.

The Consortium deals with immaterial projects through "Technical assistance and institutional building". Specifically, programs of "Technical Assistant to national and regional Paying Agencies in the agricultural sector Support in the adoption of a "pay as you throw "(PAYT)", "Technical Assistance (TA) including UNESCO management plans" and "Educational building," hooked to "Green Public Procurement" and "Master Plans."

PANGEA, whose consolidated turnover exceeded 25 million euros in 2011, is a member of and supported by the "Lega delle Cooperative e Mutue," anassociation representing more than 15,500 companies and 8.3 million members, one of Italy's most influential lobbies, accredited in Rome and Brussels, where it has its own office and staff.
