Regenerative organic agriculture is designed to improve natural resources rather than simply maintaining them. If drastic changes are not made to the way we use soil to cultivate crops, it could lead to disaster by the end of the century. Knowing the time for change is now, the team at Fattoria Triboli are embracing regenerative organic farming methods that increase soil fertility and soil resilience, strengthening the ecosystem while creating sustainable products.
In the idyllic Tuscan countryside lies Fattoria Triboli, a 19th century villa built by one of Florence's great architects, Poggi. With its green shutters and the distinctive terracotta rooftiles typical of the region, it's charming and picturesque. Your tour will begin with an introduction to the farm, its history, and the philosophy behind the business today.
Next, you will follow your National Geographic-trained guide on a trail leading through the woods and olive groves to see for yourself how sustainable agriculture works. Discover the role soil composition plays in shaping the forest's flora. You'll have the opportunity to collect fresh eggs and, depending on the season, you may also be able to join in with additional farming activities. Finish the tour with an olive oil tasting followed by a light lunch prepared with locally grown products before returning to Florence.
In a world where climate change looms large, this tour offers a glimpse into the future of agriculture. Learn how this blueprint for improved soil fertility and ecosystem resilience can be achieved.
