Organic Lazio
From 15 April to 15 May 2007, the bio farms of Lazio are opening their gates to the general public as part of an initiative to encourage us to think organic.
According to official figures there are 2500 such farms covering around 10% of the region who are involved in organic food production; cheeses, vegetables, wines etc.
A trend that's on the way up.
We've visited many such event across the Italy and you learn a lot about the roots, culture and history of the Italian regions.
In fact, you get the sensation that for this first time in 150 years there is a new generation of young people leaving the cities and heading back to the countryside. There are even magazines called 'Origin' and 'Vie del Gusto' reflecting this.
An employment model for post industrial Italy we're not too sure, but do check out this event.
