Models for producing food that are alternative to the dominant globalised ecosystem are currently receiving a growing interest. More and more, consumers and producers are aware that, unless they adopt a relationship with societies and the environment that are more sustainable and friendly to the natural cycles of life, the severe consequences we are already experiencing are likely to spread and generalise.
Yet, there is the need to identify, adapt, establish and encourage these models and match them with the specificity of local needs and the cultural context in which they are requested.
Depu positions itself as a provider of specialised agricultural services in three areas: biodynamic, organic and sustainable agriculture. Although differing from one another, those three approaches all promote a longer term and more all-encompassing vision of agriculture, away from industrial and mechanistic approaches.
The practices promoted by Depu are characterised by a strong and stable productivity, the restoration and maintenance of soil fertility, the development of healthier and more balanced agro-ecosystems, and do result in healthier products and more vital food. Depu also promotes awareness of the tight interdependence between humans, farming systems, the earth and the outer space.
Depu offers systems and solutions for those who want to create and maintain farming systems that are more sensitive to this interdependence. By tapping into its wide network of professionals and entrepreneurs that are active in the field of organic and biodynamic agriculture, Depu can design projects and organise training on demand about these topics.
