In the past few years, the implementation of carbon markets and emissions trading systems (ETS) adopted by the European Union in 2005 to mitigate climate change has become mainstream in several regions of the world.
This paper looks at different ETS in the world, how they compare to more traditional market mechanisms and discusses what the future may be for ETS.

Based in Sicily, Mangrovia is a project that mixes sustainable agricultural production and social development, based on the concept of aquaponic production. This technique is a natural circle system, in which fish and plants live without pesticides and antibiotics.
The circle works in this way: the water from the fish tanks, full of organic matter, is filtered and sent to the plant production area. The plants absorb all the nutrients they need, then they purify the water that finally comes back to the fish tank, and the cycle starts again. With the system, water is continuously recycled, fish waste becomes a natural fertilizer and vegetables and fish are not polluted as they do not enter in touch with pesticides.
The aquaponic technique not only provided benefits for the environment, but it’s also a way of entering in contact with communities and people, with the aim of educating about environmental issues and conscious consumption, especially the youngest. The catalog of products is rich and it offers vegetables like chard, red cabbage, basil, lettuce, general salad, but also fish like perch.
