The Tropoja valley in northern Albania is home to remote villages rich in nature and tradition, yet they struggle to access markets. The FAO Digital Villages Initiative (DVI) is helping local farmers, guesthouse owners, and young entrepreneurs enhance their digital skills to attract new customers and visitors.

Innovations include a GPS-enabled hiking trail and the first geospatial map of Tropoja’s ancient chestnut forests, merging nature with technology. For more updates, subscribe to the FAO YouTube channel and follow FAO on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, and Weibo.
