“The biodynamic community of Emilia-Romagna – has explained Giovanni Buccheri, director of Demeter Italia – organized this important event to raise awareness of biodynamic agriculture and the high quality of its products, to share the experiences of farmers. Just over a year ago, the project of these communities developed throughout Italy to give voice to the territories and promote agricultural development that respects the environment and animals. Today these social spaces are an opportunity for the exchange of good practices between farmers and the diffusion of training and dissemination initiatives of the biodynamic method. We are therefore happy to be able to celebrate the first hundred years of biodynamic agriculture with a first event in Emilia-Romagna, the region which also hosts the headquarters of the Demeter association: we promote love for our land and the work of our farmers”.
