Organic growing methods

Our farm uses organic growing methods: organic farming exploits the soil’s natural fertility, supporting it with minimal processes, favouring the biodiversity of the crops grown and not using chemical fertilisers or pesticides or genetically modified organisms (gmos).

The main difference between organic and conventional farming is the level of chemicals introduced into the agrosystem: conventional farming uses large quantities of fertilisers and synthetic pesticides, but organic farming is based on respect for the agrosystemand the environment. Some pesticides are used, but they contain organic and natural substances instead of man-made chemicals.
