Romagnoli promotes sustainable farming practices all throughout the value chain in order to ensure that the consumer gets a high-quality traceable product.

Today is World Environment Day, as declared on 5 June 1972 by the United Nations General Assembly during the first conference on the environment held in Stockholm and celebrated for the first time in 1974. This annual event is a chance to reflect on the value of preserving and protecting the environment, but it is also an opportunity for discussions to identify new protection strategies. 

Agriculture has always been vitally important for humans, providing our food and playing a crucial role in global trade. However, its modern application has also caused a series of environmental problems, such as soil erosion, biodiversity loss and the pollution of water resources. The transition towards more sustainable farming practices is therefore vital for addressing these challenges and guaranteeing a future for the planet. 

With a view to environmental sustainability, by investing in research and development, Romagnoli is committed every day towards creating greener potato-growing, promoting potato varieties naturally tolerant to the main plant diseases that affect the crop as well as sustainable farming practices all throughout the value chain, ensuring that the consumer gets a high-quality traceable product. 

èVita Residue-Free yellow potatoes are an example of this, grown exclusively in Italy from a 100% certified supply chain and produced by combining varieties that are naturally tolerant to downy mildew and coded farming practices that help minimise any chemical treatments during growing and use very low-residue chemical molecules. It is a product with excellent organoleptic properties which balances protecting crops, environmental sustainability and people’s well-being.
