Societá Agricola Ciampechini’ transition to regenerative farming
Climate Farmer since
2025
Farm history
- For generations, the family
has been rooted in agriculture - The first agricultural activities reach to 1903
- Her father ran the farm
business in the last decades - Marta and her sisters joined the farm
- Recently, they have run the farm
together and want to transition
to regenerative agriculture.
Previous practices
- Animal integration: with a close sheep owner
- Olive tree: keep grass, try to integrate pruning leftovers
- No use of herbicides
- Limited chemical inputs
Investment costs
- B2B: brandinig, promotion, building the brand
- Eventually, processing facilities (long-term future)
New practices
Challenges we want to address with the transition
- Improve biodiversity
- Diversify production
- Balance the effects of water scarcity and soil erosion connected to changing precipitation frequency
“Things need to change because we are already facing the effects of neglect. We must recognise that the current way of farming is not sustainable in the long term: our planet has sustained us with food and feed for centuries, and now we are leading it to depletion. It’s our responsibility to protect and sustain it for the future. The way we are doing it now is simply not the way to go, Following regenerative farming practices we seek to balance between economic and ecological sustainability”
— The reason why Societá Agricola Ciampechini decided to transition to regenerative agriculture
Future ambitions
Diversify production by targeting both B2B and B2C
Open up to international markets
Integrate into regenerative supply chain
Eventually agrotourism
