Environmental sustainability and agricultural innovation in disadvantaged areas.
The Ferrari Umberto farm produces high-quality oil in a notoriously disadvantaged area. Dedication to work and commitment to a refined product drives the company to use modern machinery and innovative techniques, paying particular attention to environmental impact. Among the innovations promoted, the Cosenza-based company has modernised the systems for working the land and harvesting the olives.
Thanks to the contribution of the 2014/2020 Calabria RDP, the company has planted new olive groves and fences to secure the slopes. The innovations promoted thanks to the funded interventions have increased the degree of mechanisation of production processes and the related energy savings, with a view to sustainable development. The mechanisation of processes has also reduced labour costs and increased the safety of the workers employed, while also speeding up the cultivation of land and the quality of crops and products. In addition to this, an e-commerce platform has been set up to market the products and the organic line.
