The increasing urbanization trend, projected to reach 70% of the global population residing in cities by 2050, underscores pivotal role achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set 2030 Agenda for (UN, 2015) and combating climate change. Nonetheless, 2023 report United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN Habitat) reveals an alarming gap SDG 11 “Sustainable communities” 2030. This highlights urgent need transformative shifts urban policies investments prevent from becoming centers disparities, including socio-economic inequalities, digital divide, spatial fragmentation, particularly marginal areas. Marginal areas suffer indeed conditions sub-optimality planning capacity, valuable decision-making, project implementation. inadequate planning, management, governance areas, coupled with suboptimal investments, can severely compromise their socioeconomic condition. Planning efforts frequently fall short long-term sustainability goals due localized short-sighted decision-making processes, evident It is crucial, though, support public administrations achievement targets responsive participation calls allocation funding.

This paper explores the potential implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) in agriculture, specifically focusing on soil and water management Southern Italy, particularly Apulia Basilicata regions. Through a tailored questionnaire, it investigates farmers' perceptions utility NBSs, addressing key issues region evaluating their role challenges. Findings reveal primary challenges such as drought, floods, pollution, with erosion being major concern. Several including wetlands bioswales, demonstrate consistent performance, while disparities exist for agroforestry strip cropping. The study underscores significant gap economic valuation emphasizing need comprehensive assessments that incorporate livability improvements, quality enhancement, socio-cultural benefits. Additionally, an analysis NBS across Italian agriculture reveals limited case studies, suggesting strategic expansions to meet Sustainable Development Goals. research offers critical insights into effectiveness NBSs agricultural management, advocating enhanced stakeholder engagement development multidimensional evaluation frameworks support sustainable practices.

Autochthonous Italian pomegranate accessions are still underexplored, although they could be an important resource for fresh consumption, processing, and nutraceutical uses. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize the local germplasm identify genotypes with desirable traits. In this study, six old landraces a commercial cultivar (Dente di Cavallo) were investigated, evaluating their fruit pomological parameters, physicochemical (TSS, pH, TA, color) characteristics, sugar content, aromatic profiles (HeadSpace Solid-Phase MicroExtraction (HS-SPME)) coupled Gas Chromatographyass Spectrometry (GC-MS) of juices. Significant differences observed in size weight seed fruits (127.50-525.1 g), as well content (100-133.6 gL
