FIELD WORK<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not only private citizens are interested in knowing more, but also firms and companies are interested in expert advice and targeted interventions throughout the production chain of their crops.
\nIn particular, my personal intervention focuses on management, maintenance and making the most of the land, pruning, harvesting, the oil mill process and extra virgin oil tasting.<\/p>\n

    TEACHING AND TRAINING<\/h3>\n

    In these past few years I\u2019ve noticed that more and more people are interested in taking part in my courses, which are often funded or supported by local organizations or associations or directly requested by private companies. The courses I hold, attract a wide range of practitioners that simply wish to learn more about the fascinating world of pruning and harvesting. As I often say during my lessons, it\u2019s not just the technical and practical aspect that is essential: the bottom line is the general approach, one\u2019s knowledge and respect for nature and plants.<\/p>\n

    The way I see it, respecting our environment is healthy for all of us, not just for landowners or farmers. The benefits of a clean and healthy environment are there for everybody.<\/p>\n
