The "Clean & Safe Land" Project
Cultivated fields often become a dumping ground for waste and rubbish.
We believe that keeping them clean is an important responsibility.
In 2015 we launched the "Clean Countyside" project, aiming to encourage our suppliers to pay more attention to environmental sustainability.
We have organized training meetings with our suppliers and established operating practices intended to remove waste and rubbish from the fields where crops are grown.

suppliers
We make sure that the suppliers of our organic food products provide us with certificates of analysis to confirm the quality of their products. The guarantee of the origin and the quality of an organic product is our form of consumer protection.
