Why does eating organic matter? Are organic foods richer in beneficial nutrients? When all is said and done, do they really cost more? How do you recognise a product grown using organic methods? And what are the environmental benefits? If you are looking for in-depth answers, here you will find the latest and most authoritative news and scientific studies on the world of organic and sustainable agriculture — one that respects biodiversity, honours tradition while remaining open to technical and scientific innovation. Organic farming and animal husbandry means working without pesticides or antibiotics, producing healthy, high-quality food capable of feeding the world while respecting people's work, animal welfare, natural resources and the health of the Planet. This is why organic agriculture plays an increasingly essential role in the agroecological transition towards sustainable food systems that can counter climate change — rather than fuel it — guarantee food security, reduce waste and make the best use of natural resources. The European Commission has set the goal of bringing "at least 25 per cent of the EU's agricultural land under organic farming and achieving a significant increase in organic aquaculture by 2030," and to this end has proposed a European Action Plan for Organic Farming to stimulate the production and purchase of organic products. Since 2022, Italy has had an organic farming law that protects and promotes the sector — a flagship of our country, which boasts the highest share of organic land relative to total agricultural area in Europe, as well as the largest number of organic producers.
