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 wants to aim to colonise always more the particle 2.0 filling up with real contents a really interesting place like the web where now on food there is too much confusion. There is alot of rumour which Agrycult wants to transform in conversation and afterwards  in markets for everyday folk who are on the outside.

To those we will say that more than km zero need the km 2.0……:-)

Is it a crazy undertaking? Will the judges of seedcamp believe in us?

 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!!

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!

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.

We would like to tell you about a special day. We have turned ourselves into reporters for Agrycult and we have tried to describe what happened in a video that is to say the air that is breathed from the big plant that carrys out all the operations of packing the bottles. It is in the square in front of the cellar where at the end of the day the doors are closed ( infact at the Basia like in many other small businesses this work is carried out by a specialised company but we are kitted out with all the right industrialised machinery used to package the goods.

The result is under your watchful eyes! we hope you will appreciate this small part of a story of a wine that we like to remember, a wine born from a combination of many factors: from the passion of real people, from the right care of the earth, from the tastes of a tradition which have transmitted us from quality to a fruit but also from the technology that today helps us value and conserve these prescious resourses up until the moment of uncorking a bottle on our table.

At this point even we 2.0 have to return to old habits: if you would like to get to know this wine, this chiaretto there isn’t anything else to do but try it! and it’s for this reason the net is still not set up ….. Come and see us!

See you soon!
