Permaculture

Using permaculture techniques maintains a rich bio diversity in the cultivated areas.

Making compost is one of the fundamental operations involved in the application of permaculture techniques.

The use of "Bio-Diesel" in agricultural machinery reduces toxic emmisions and can be seen as another step towards sustainable farming practices.

Covering the compost accelerates anaerobic decompostion and reduces problems with flies.

In permaculture, integrating small plantations into the landscape very often gives better results.
