Establishing a bio-district would see a network of farmers, agricultural workers and those involved in organic and biodynamic agri-tourism. For this purpose, we held an initial meeting in Marta on March 8th, as part of the broader framework of the lake’s conservation activities aimed at identifying and eliminating sources of pollution. In fact, the degradation of the quality of the water is not due only to the leaking of sewage into the lake, but also of fertilizers and pesticides used in agriculture.

The meeting was attended by agricultural companies and organic farms in the area as well as agricultural technicians.

This first meeting focused only on agriculture, although the basic concept of a bio-district includes all aspects of human activity in a given territory. The idea is to start with what existing organic farmers want or can do: developments will be linked to available strengths, and all steps will be taken collectively.
