By now you already know that agrycult.com is a place where we collect the experiences and passions of everyday folk who have chosen with us to cultivate what we have defined the particle 2.0 from an agriculturists part of the net.

 The objective of this is to come together on this website with the community of people who are careful what they eat and curious and open like us folk of agrycult.com.

Here we share our daily work and our passion but… since one doesn’t bring forward a business only by talk

We need to try and sell the thing we produce with passion every day!

In agrycult.com we are constructing our farmer store and in doing so we are inspired by the model called CSA, Community Supported Agryculture: a community that supports..agriculture.

And, yes a certain kind of agriculture, one which doesn’t produce a large amount but produces good quality, LA Italian quality.  Above  all in this moment we are in need of a community that supports this.

Success in the 50′s of Japanese folk who, in order to try to avoid the depopulation of small rural villages of which their children didn’t have any other choice but to flee to the cities invented the CSA.

… and they succeeded!

They opened their campaigns to the inhabitants of the cities near by. Saturday and Sunday were the days they collected and so everyone in the countryside in order to breath fresh air  havested the vegetables neccesary which were needed for the following week. In the USA this model has become successful and today millions of businesses base a large amount of their income on this distributive model.

Agricultural profit  from minimal land….depopulation of the countryside…community… a need to shine and get to know the face of the products….

These are the ingredients that unfortunatly still remain indispensable in order for the survival of quality agriculture.

 These factors are needed in order to eat healthy and with knowledge of what one is eating.

We are working on the first test of our farmer store.

Coming soon will be the first line of WCSA: Web Community Supported Agriculture!!

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.

I’m going to introduce myself, my name is Gianna Ferretti a Biochemist from the politechnic university of Le Marche. From 2003 curo Trashfood, the randomestrale of uncultured diet, a blog live with news born online about topics regarding the quality of nutrition, product supply chain, alimentary styles, alimentary etichette and misleading messages. Didadtic motives and from research has taken me over the years to follow always more and more the relationship between life style, diet choice and our health. The passion for the web and frequent forums and blogs has given me the opportunity to get to know a lot of people and even products, the online agricultural part. Some of them are the promotors of progect Agrycult: Francesco Travaglini, Carlo Zaccaria, Elena of the Basia. and here I am newly arrived to become part of the team. What will we talk about together? the relationship between product supply chain and nutritional quality, the link between environment, agriculture, diet and health, of the need for education and alimentary information.

Speak to you soon!

“South, unleashing the agrienergy” …. “The  most suitable crops seem to be cane, thistle, panic (grass) and sorghum sugar” … ”The corn-powered stove beats the fireplace with an efficiency of over 80% “… “A quarter of U.S. grain feed cars, not people” … “The figures for 2009 show that the grain grown to produce fuel in 2009 would have been enough to feed 330 million people for one year” …

Those are some of the headlines and articles that for some time now we are reading more and more specialized agriculture and trade journals.

Then the rest of the arguments are: milk quotas, prosecco, food frauds, accidents at work, and of course the new slavery of the non-EC immigrants working in agriculture.

All of this is the mirror of a paradox, over which it is worth thinking for, after all, Italy’s own benefit.

In agrycult.com the debate is open so that the choices of each and everyone, farmers and consumers, can be as aware as possible.
