The CEO of the group: “The ‘Sow the future’ initiative takes place on the day of World Food Day. For twelve years this event has been repeated with great turnout and with a great desire to demonstrate a fact that the seed is essential for our nutrition “
Sowing the Future Foundation and NaturaSì joined forces and their commitment on World Food Day on October 16, opening the doors to 9 organic farms for collective sowing in Carpaneta (Mantua). “The ‘Sow the future’ initiative takes place on the day of World Food Day – began Fausto Jori, CEO of NaturaSì – For twelve years this event has been repeated with great turnout and with a great desire to demonstrate a fact that the seed is essential for our nutrition. People don’t remember, but everything we eat comes from seed. This is the great significance of the event “.
“The selection of organic seeds is fundamental for the future. – he adds – Much of Europe’s territory by 2030, about 25%, will be in organic farming and therefore it will be necessary. Indeed it is necessary to have seeds that are oriented to this type of agriculture. Very natural that has few inputs, therefore seeds that are able to root quickly, that are able to have large and deep roots, in such a way as to support even drought situations and having a yield that is compatible with an agricultural economy. Sowing the future has this objective “.
The commitment of NaturaSì in recent years has been decisive just as explained by Jori: “We have a contribution. We are one of the founders of the Sowing the Future foundation because we believe in this goal and therefore we finance, help and this has made it possible for us to start researching in 2016 to select a first totally organic grain designed for organic farming that we have named ‘Start ‘. This already helps to understand that for us it is a beginning, because sowing the future means looking ahead. We have for the first time the crops of this grain and this will have pasta where some of the products are already on the shelves of Eco NaturaSì “.
