Protecting our soil for us and the future generations.

Biodiversity.

Biology is defined as the variety of living organisms in their various forms and in their respective ecosystems.

The term biodiversty comes from the greek words bios, which means life, and the latin diversitas which means diversity. As an alternative traduction you could also include biovariety or variety of the life present on Earth.

Biodiversity doesn’t only apply to rare species or the ones in danger, it is a concept present in out everyday life; it’s what allows to eat an apple instead of a pear and that allows us to coltivate different varieties of grapes. A world without biodivesity is a dead world, our objective is to promote biodivesity on all levels, from the microrganisms in the soil to the insects on the vines; from the grassing of the rows to the trees and bushes of out hedges. We are able to achieve this by using the least possible pesticides and by relying on agricultural practices, such as grassing and maintaining the historic hedges.

Fertility of the Soil.

Fertility in agriculture is the ability of the soil to produce agricultural products and relies on the phisycal, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil.

With physical fertility we intend the physical characteristics of the soil such as it’s weaving, which is the proportion of sand, silt and clay; the structure, the porosity which allows for the right passage of air, the density and the tenacity.

Chemical fertility, other than measure the concentration of mineral nutrients, includes the chemical proprieties that they influece, such as the pH, the cationic exchange ability (CSC), nitrogen assimilation and element retrogradation.

Biological fertility is measured as the quantity of organic substance present in the soil, but expecially the quantity of microrganisms and their activity such as the decomposition of organic substance and their mineralization and thier other effects.
