This means that, thanks to organic farming, one fifth of Italian farmland is free of pesticides . In essence , organic is a niche market – which for various reasons has not been able to express its full potential – for example, the % of consumption in France is almost double (5.6%) that of Italy – but which has a strong positive impact on Italy’s environment and thus also on our health.
P.S.: Italy ranks third for organic farmland only after France (2.9 million hectares) and Spain (2.7 million hectares)
