Chemical and intensive agriculture has been considered for a long time the only way to achieve good products.
On the other hand several years of experimentation have proved that it is possible to produce without using chemical synthesis products, only by employing natural pesticides and fertilizers and contemporarily implementing the biological potential of the agricultural ground and environment, thus developing the precious biodiversity, which had been simplified and destroyed by conventional agriculture.
In the last years people have shown great interest in natural food, because a healthy and quality diet can help wellbeing; so there are more and more people, who choose organic products obtained without chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic products have rapidly developed, turning from niche items into an agro industrial system; an evolution that permitted to sell them also in large-scale retail trade.
Piacenza has a natural gift for organic philosophy because of its environment, its pedoclimate, its traditions and favourable institutional policies encouraging new techniques and detailed research methods.
