Sustainability
At the Azienda Agricola Rende, sustainability is our daily commitment. Our mission is more than just a word or a concept; it is a deep and tangible commitment to cultivate the land in harmony with the environment. We are aware that every step we take today will have a lasting impact on future generations. Through a series of conscious practices, we are shaping a responsible and environmentally friendly agricultural future. Among the main practices we implement to make
Minimum processing, maximum respect: We have adopted a minimum tillage approach. We minimise tillage operations in order to preserve the natural soil structure. This not only protects underground biodiversity, but also helps maintain soil fertility over time.
The root of sustainability: the organic regime: Since our foundation, we have been committed to organic farming as certified by Ecogruppo Italia. We avoid the use of harmful chemicals and rely exclusively on natural methods of cultivation. This approach improves soil quality, protects biodiversity and promotes healthy plants and people through the production of truly healthy food.
Care for biodiversity, care for the Earth: In addition to cultivating without the use of harmful chemicals, we protect and care for biodiversity as a precious treasure because it plays a crucial role in ecological balance. Species diversity supports soil health, promotes crop resilience and contributes to the survival of many organisms vital to the ecosystem. Through careful pruning and management, we maintain trees such as oaks and pyrains (wild pear trees), which were once natural boundaries and are now often felled on farmland to make more room for crops. These trees serve as a refuge for countless species of animals and insects, which are essential for biological control and for maintaining a variety of life forms and high biodiversity.
The IGP Certified Identity: We are in the process of receiving PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) certification, a tangible testimony to the quality of our products. This recognition underlines the attention we pay to cultivation and tradition, bringing high quality food to the table from a land we respect and protect.
Innovation takes flight: The use of drones represents a bold step towards more precise and sustainable crop management. By flying over the fields, we collect detailed data to optimise interventions, so we can know in real time the needs of the plants and can intervene with precision, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.
In the Rende farm, sustainability is more than a concept: it is a concrete and constantly evolving commitment. Attraverso le nostre pratiche e la passione per l’ambiente, stiamo creando un’agricoltura che preserva la terra per le future generazioni.
