We plante 15.000
trees, shrubs in our farm
We are Nature and Biodiversity Custodians

Our primary task as farmers is to be landscape and biodiversity custodians.

We planted more than 15 THOUSAND native PLANTS (hedges,
shrubs and trees) n order to try to recreate the original natural
environment, on our farm; we arranged them in rows, for a length of about 80 KM



Hundreds of scientific studies have shown that agroforestry systems:
• diversify agricultural production;
• reconcile food production with biomass production;
• reduce to the point of excluding the input of fertilizers and
pesticides;
• directly and indirectly increase biodiversity;
• maintain and improve soil fertility;
• protect the soil from erosion and pollution;
• improve water quality;
• improve the landscape
• FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EMERGENCIES!!!!!

Furthermore, "diversified" cultivation by varieties and species intercropping,
allows us to support the life of the soil and its organic matter,
even in lands that are traditionally considered poor.

We could achieve all the National, European and UN Sustainable
Development Goals by applying natural agriculture and by
intercropping trees, with cereals and legumes and vegetables
(Agroforestry and Polyculture),
Our commitment to the environment
Our passion for Biodiversity
  
In 2023, our farm Una Garlanda has been included in the agroforestry guidelines of CREA (Italian National Council for Agricultural Research and Analysis of Agricultural Economics) as a
case study and as a unique example of rice cultivation in agroforestry
