REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

This model enhances the value of the soil as a key to sustainability, considering it a living environment, compared to the conventional agriculture model.
Measures are introduced to rationalize irrigation management, assessing the needs of the crop at all times and preserving aquifers.

Reduction of inorganic fertilization, prioritizing the use of organic inputs over inorganic ones, the reduction of agrochemicals, and the establishment of plantation frameworks that prioritize the health of the crop.
The implementation of all these processes leads to the cultivation of products that require less use of post-harvest inputs, obtaining a healthier fruit with a more intense flavor.

At the same time, and through these measures, the company contributes to regenerating soils, avoiding deforestation and contamination of aquifers.
