Organic farming is a global system of farm management and food production based on the interaction between best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, the protection of natural resources, the application of rigorous standards in terms of wellness animal and a production suited to the preferences of certain consumers obtained with natural substances and processes.
The organic production method has a dual function: to respond to consumer demand for healthy and safe food and fiber; provide public goods that contribute to environmental protection and rural development. In Europe, organic production is regulated by Reg. CE n. 834/2007 and the subsequent Reg. CE n. 89/2008.
According to the elaborations carried out by Sinab 2016, the areas cultivated with organic methods in Italy have reached 1.796.363 hectares. In the last year, over 300,000 hectares have been converted to organic farming.
The main production trends concern forage crops (342,653 ha), pastures (321,011 ha), cereals (299,639 ha) and olives (222,452 ha). Of note is the significant increase recorded by the vegetables (+ 48.9%), cereals (+ 32.6%), wine vines (+ 23.4%) and olive oil (+ 23.5%).
In the Marche Region there are about 78,000 hectares of areas dedicated to organic farming. we are talking about 17,060 hectares of fields dedicated to cereals, 2918 dedicated to protein crops, supply chains that could be strongly interested in converting to an agricultural biological conservation model for both animal and human chains.
Innovation concerns the transfer and adaptation of the organic and conservative model to our agricultural context in agronomic and technological terms. Innovation involves obtaining economically sustainable crop yields without depleting the production potential of the soil; combines the action of covering the soil with the accumulation of organic substance, protecting it from surface erosion phenomena; responds to the desire of the Marche Region to spread sustainable production methods in organic farming.
Adaptation measures will be applied, integrated with those of mitigation of climate change and respect for biodiversity, which include interventions on crop rotations (cover crops with different management treatments, crop consociations, minimum processing with machinery suitable for containing weeds and maintenance of organic substance).
Technological innovation tools: soil moisture and temperature sensors and qualitative-quantitative monitoring of soil erosion, licenses for using cloud platforms for georeferenced data management.
