AgryCult

The main objective of Agrycult is to build a net of small agricultural businesses that are not only set up on line but also set up face to face, building our small net creates a net of products which is distributed and sold between farmers. (Does this make sense to you? Have I understood the main idea of the sentence?)

We simply want to return to discovering products from the earth, those real products “We believe that rediscovering products from the earth is the most revolutionary experience that can happen to …

I’d like to share with you this post (and video) found on my Twitter network.
At a certain point, a farmer says ‘we want back our right to keep our seed’. Because the big Ag don’t allow them to do it!
How SCARY!
In Italy, farmers can still keep their seeds.
But for how long?

There are 2 million farmers and 300 million consumers in the US. Standing in between are a handful of companies who control how food gets from one side to the other.
In 2010, the USDA and Dept of …

Fortunately it doesn’t happen often to be able use this tool with its spikey iron wheels but this is the right time of year. Our land, the Baraggia is harsh and the weather rains heavily. There isn’t any escape and in rice fields with the rubber you can’t get around easily. In this way using this tool is an extreme solution but the only possibilty at this moment, it requires a lot more time and a lot of patience.

This morning in Paris at the head office of Microsoft France Agrycult.com presented itself to the prestigious public!
Our idea to cultivate the agricultural part of the net was one of the 20 ideal finalists of Miniseedcamp of Paris.
We had 5 minutes,five to explain where Argycult wants to arrive and how.
We did it by talking about the sound of cheese.
We explained how the irritating sound of the large copper pot battered by a large stick becomes a solid sound, full of
contents of an excellent contents
And here is where Argrycult …

In the last few days I have learnt with a pinch of stupor that a Friulian agriculturist claims the right of freedon to sow asking to be free to cultivate OGM cereals.
During this time we have assisted in a lot of initiatives and theories pro OGM. Often superficial because there is too much speculation over the reality of the fields that are often more complex than most people believe. In the countryside there is such a variability and unpredictable number of events that one can not …

Today the European union has cleared the potato OGM Amflora but if they thought to amaze us agriculturists by nature they should give up because we don’t belong to their financial logic
 This movement has been expected for some time with the most foolish ready to steal from us, convinced OGM will mean higher margins for agriculture.
These are shocking dellusions because the business of products for agriculturists has no intention to reduce their own admission.

After a few days here at the Basia we have bottled the product the Chiaretto The drunken wife 2009.  The bottleing which took place in an associated business is a special occasion: In fact in one day all the work spent in the vineyard and dedicated care in the wine cellar came to an end.
