Acetaia Guerzoni has been certified biodynamic since 1984. Attesting to compliance with the biodynamic regulations is Demeter, the most authoritative certification body, born in Germany at the end of the 1920s.
Much more than organic, biodynamic agriculture consists of a holistic, ecological and ethical approach to crops and their fruits, food and nutrition. The objective is to recreate more balanced agricultural ecosystems, in which the farm (land, plants, animals, humans and environment) is seen as an interconnected, interdependent and self-sufficient whole in terms of fertility.
According to biodynamics, agriculture is a form of collaboration between man and nature aimed at ensuring the prosperity of both, respecting the ecology, culture and traditions of a place. It follows strictly defined guidelines that apply from seed to finished product with the aim of protecting the overall quality of foods, their safety and traceability, and the fertility of the soil.
Since respect for human beings is inherent to the biodynamic approach, the directives that we are required to comply with, provide for the integration of social responsibility principles into company processes.
For us it means supporting community development (especially at local level) by cooperating along the entire supply chain.
