Biodiverse Agriculture

The intensive agricultural model that considers the field as a blank sheet of paper, on which to intervene with fertilizers and pesticides functional to the agro-industry, has progressively reduced soil fertility to zero, increased water and air pollution and, where practiced, extinguished biodiversity.

To remedy this, it is essential that agriculture regains its role of producing healthy and quality food while respecting the maximum biodiversity. There are no ready-made formulas, one of the lines of research is represented by the practice that we call biodiverse agriculture, a variant of regenerative agriculture that has as its study focus the maximum biodiversity acceptable for an agricultural system.

This agricultural practice associates production with the creation of biosystems, useful first of all to restore fertility and vitality to the soil, to eliminate water and air pollution and to restore the balance of nature in a sector that has become exasperated. Through experiments, not profitable but essential to finding solutions, BIodiverse agriculture is a candidate to contribute to the solution of the problem.

In the last few months, there has been a flourishing of conferences on regenerative agriculture, whose promoters include everyone and everything, the aim being the classic "everything must change so that everything stays the same".

The work of our project will take into consideration agro-forestry and viticulture, experimenting with the maximum biodiversity that this is able to offer and at the same time field experiments have been started (related in particular to soil fertility and vitality) to define scientifically validated action protocols.
