RUGGERO LAPORTA
FARMER FROM TRINITAPOLI, ITALY
I discovered a natural pesticide by chance.
"While harvesting tomatoes in the garden one day, I noticed there was one type of marigold that the insects don't like," says Ruggero Laporta. "After that, I introduced the flowers into the crop rotation. This has greatly reduced the need for pesticides." He and his son Francesco grow nectarines and peaches on roughly 17 hectares of land. "Organic farming is a tradition in my family," explains Laporta. "I'm passing everything my father taught me on to my son."
