Fertilia Farm
This arable site focuses on soil health through the introduction of organic amendments, cover cropping, improved crop sequences and reduced soil disturbance, together with residue incorporation. It is especially relevant because it includes a processing tomato system, which is strategic in northern Italy. The crops are wheat (food), processing tomato (food industry), maize (mainly feed) and cover crops.
