The objective of this project is to provide some examples of research
conducted in the field of organic farming performed by the producers at

The selected projects revive the traditional
knowledge of the regional farmers and provide information regarding the
combined use of more accessible, innovative and efficient techniques
leading to concrete production solutions.
