COMPOSTABLE ALTAR: Offering to the Earth

LE TERRE DI ZOÈ x Betiana Pavón

SUMMARY

Information will follow soon.

“Betiana exalts the spirituality of the earth. Through her proposal, we discovered an alternative and artistic way to use the waste material that we produce and at the same time giving a sense of naturalness and spirituality to our fields. In an increasingly frenetic and fast-paced world it is – from our point of view – important to stop for a moment to think and reflect on the natural times of life.“

LE TERRE DI ZOÈ

Organic farm

Calabria, ITALY

Le terre di zoè is an organic farm, family managed, handed down from three generations and located in Calabria, in the south of Italy.​​

Over the decades, foresight and research have led to significant changes in both cultivation and management. From purely olive cultivation, they transformed their farm firstly into citrus cultivation and later they extended into cultivation of different kinds of fruits. When they understood that a farm can have different aspects and can have a social value, they transformed it into a multifunctional business, where they embraced primary production, transformation, agritourism and farm education. ​​

Respecting tradition their aim is spreading the true culture of organic food, which must not only be healthy, but also authentic and has to be produced in a sustainable way, respecting environment and people.​
