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)

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
