“The reasons for this success”, says the president of the Libero Stradiotti Consortium, “also lie in the fact that more and more attention is being paid to sustainability issues and environmental dynamics, which are increasingly the subject of in-depth analysis and study. Starting with the use of the soil in compliance with the new climate objectives set by the EU for 2030, in which the Consortium will express its commitment, through its members, to actions that will balance emissions with an equivalent absorption of Co2 from the atmosphere, working to improve nutrition and animal welfare. Attention will therefore be focused on a significant reduction in the use of chemical pesticides, fertilizers and antibiotics and a greater use of sustainable practices: precision agriculture, organic, agroecology and agrosilviculture. Giving force to the 'from producer to consumer' strategy for a sustainable food system, aimed at reducing the environmental impact of productions, by intervening in all phases of the product life cycle, will be the virtuous path that the Consortium will continue to encourage among its associates and in agreement with research institutes and universities".
