** Social Benefits **
When a population is healthier than it will be happier and the number of depressed people will drop. From cardiovascular diseases to diabetes, let's beat these wicked conditions. Also, let's promote the tie with Mother Nature, let's teach to our children how to have a sustainable life, cultivate their fruits and vegetables. Italy has plenty of dishes to put to good use those beauties.



** Environment Benefits **
Let's take care of the natural cultivation of cereals, vegetables, and fruits. It will not only kill the amount of product the country imports from abroad but, most importantly, we will respect the pace and seasonality of our cultivation.
