Social farming is increasingly acknowledged as a form of social and healthcare innovation, due to its significant potential for the social integration and occupational inclusion of individuals with mental disabilities and/or those in disadvantaged conditions. However, research and quantitative evaluation in the field of social farming remain limited, particularly regarding its impact on individual behaviour and the development of social and occupational skills. This paper presents the “Operational Tool for Socio-occupational Inclusion in Agriculture – SOIA” adopted in the Territori Solidali Organizzati – TSO Project (Regione Lazio, PO FSE 2014-20) to monitor the personalized inclusion pathways of 25 participants with vulnerabilities or mental health issues, selected and supported by the project’s partner farms. Analysis of the SOIA questionnaires demonstrated the effectiveness of these tailored pathways, confirming SOIA as a valid tool for assessing and monitoring work-related skills and behaviors in social farming contexts
Keywords: social farming; job placement; mental health; social integration.
