The biodynamic Demeter certification represents the purest form of agriculture. Biodynamic farmers actively nurture the natural fertility of their soil, knowing that only healthy land produces vital chickpeas. Through regular crop rotation and the use of nutrient-rich manure from their own livestock, they support a diverse and living soil. Herb-rich field margins around the Italian fields attract insects that naturally support the growth and flowering of the chickpeas. Demeter farmers act as true stewards of the land, working with biodiversity rather than against it.
