  In this contribution, we aim to summarise the efforts of the Italian SKA
scientific community in conducting surveys of star-forming regions within our
Galaxy, in the development of astrochemical research on protostellar envelopes
and disks, and in studying the planet formation process itself. The objective
is dual: Firstly, to investigate the accumulation and development of dust
throughout the formation of planets, and secondly, to chemically examine
protoplanetary disks and protostellar envelopes by studying heavy molecules,
such as chains and rings containing over seven carbon atoms, which exhibit
significantly reduced strength at millimeter wavelengths.
