The C.I.A., established in the Italian region of Umbria, is an organisation of agricultural experts whose main aim is to defend the important role of both farming and farmers in the civil, democratic and economic development of society.
The C.I.A. belongs to the Confederation of Italian Farmers. Its national head office is in Rome, with a delegation in Brussels and is present throughout the country.

The C.I.A. manages various associations and includes around 750.000 members.
The C.I.A. has a regional head office in the city of Perugia, 7 provincial offices and 34 offices in the biggest towns of Umbria.

Its role within the association is of utmost importance due to its large experience in the participation in European Projects and Initiatives.

Its permanent and constant connection with farmers already taking the first actions towards multifunctionality, makes the C.I.A. very useful in the Project.
