Pacific revolution.
One pacific revolution is crossing the Italian agriculture: they are the biological alimony. You recognize them because they bring back in label the dicitura “From biological agriculture” and have authentic and full sapori. Biological agriculture, also sinking the roots in the past, represents a leap towards a future of search of the natural sapori and the quality, of ecological responsibility and knowledge. In all Italy they are 54mila the companies that they have chosen to cultivate their products without to resort to tans to me, diserbanti, insecticide, fungicides.
All the cycle of the production, from the preparation of the land for seeds it until the sale of the finished product, is subordinate to the controls of organisms specializes to you recognized from the State purposely, that they certify and they guarantee the full respect of the norms and the disciplinary ones of production. The engagement of the biological agriculturists but only is not turned to the quality of the products, but also to the safeguard of the atmosphere.
In order to maintain and to increase the fertility natural of a land very held, the biological agriculturists practice the agrarian spins, one technical that wisdom derives from the millenarian peasant, while the concimazione happens with organic material. In order to safeguard the natural wealth of the ground they avoid heavy machinery and they choose sturdy and resistant varieties: they do not produce the strabilianti amounts of conventional agriculture, but sure they do not demand chemical treatments of synthesis.
They place the maximum attention to the well-being of the animals: the communitarian regulation forbids the breeding in cage. Moreover they refuse genetic engineering: the products from biological agriculture are all ogm free. Many companies of transformation of the alimentary products share these criteria of quality. The careful consumer can therefore find not only cereals, yields and verdura of biological production, but also flours, bread, biscotti, cracker, biscottate, ribbons of cereals, paste, rice, latte slices fresh and to long conservation, yogurt, cheeses, grapes for the wine production, it yields sand bank, marmellate and confetture, fruit juices, honey, extra oil vergine of olive, seed oil.
