Sustainable agriculture for business profitability Sustainable agriculture is a cultivation model that allows us to take care of our planet and, at the same time, obtain abundant, high-quality harvests. It's not just about protecting the environment, but also about guaranteeing us and future generations a better future: with more fertile soil, cleaner water and a more stable climate. It seems like a dream, but it's really possible. Attention to the environment, climate change, healthy foods and the agricultural context are increasingly widespread issues also among consumers. In this context, sustainable agriculture is an important opportunity to optimize the profitability of agricultural companies, especially small ones, which can really make a difference. Small farmers often face challenges related to access to resources, market competitiveness and price volatility. Adopting sustainable farming practices can really be the key to differentiating yourself from competitors and gaining consumer trust: you will be able to increase your profits faster and more lastingly. Do you want to know how to adopt a green agriculture philosophy without having to invest capital? Let's discover together in this article how to transform your farm into a sustainable reality and increase your profitability. The 5 principles of sustainable agriculture In 2018 the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) specified the 5 principles of sustainable agriculture, which, still today, are adopted as fundamental guidelines. Here they are: increasing productivity, employment and added value in food systems, thanks to a change in agricultural practices aimed at guaranteeing food supplies and reducing water and energy consumption. protect and optimize natural resources: this point concerns the conservation of the environment, the limitation of pollution of water sources, the fight against the destruction of natural habitats and ecosystems, the deterioration of land. improve livelihoods and promote inclusive economic growth, to ensure farmers have a fair income that covers production costs and provides a dignified standard of living. increase the resilience of people, communities and ecosystems, which implies the transformation of production models to be able to minimize the negative impact caused by extreme atmospheric events due to climate change or the variability of market prices. adapt governance to new challenges, through regulations that ensure transparency and fairness and make a balance between public and private possible. Sustainable agriculture represents an important opportunity for small Italian farmers also given the growing demand from consumers who are increasingly aware and attentive to the environment. As a farmer you can adopt some important solutions to make your farm green: for example crop rotation, to keep the soil fertile and reduce the use of pesticides. Or you can use natural fertilizers such as compost or manure, which nourish your crops healthily; optimize irrigation and protect biodiversity: sow flowers and plant trees that can attract useful insects and pollinators, such as precious bees. However, there is another important aspect that you should consider to adopt a sustainable agriculture policy: it involves the use of electric machines, such as eco-friendly horticultural equipment 100%, which can help you increase your profitability, and improve also the working conditions of the operators. Electric machinery for agriculture: Euro Green Tech for sustainable harvesting For sustainable agriculture it is necessary to use tools that guarantee economic, social and environmental sustainability: replacing your fossil fuel agricultural vehicles with zero-emission green vehicles is certainly a fundamental step for the ecological transition of your company. For you who have land with different crops, it is not at all easy to purchase the most suitable eco-friendly machinery and at the right price, to make the bottom line. Euro Green Tech's electric agricultural machines are tools for harvesting vegetables: ideal if you want to adopt sustainable farming practices, but want to optimize your economic resources. They are designed with a structure that allows dynamic collection, without postural efforts: to improve the working conditions of the operators. Euro Green Tech's electric machines are easy to use and reduce the physical effort required of the worker, preventing pain and injuries. Our agricultural machines are 100% electric and bring significant benefits in environmental terms: you will be able to significantly reduce harmful emissions and tangibly contribute to the reduction of air pollution, and operators will only breathe good air during harvesting operations. Our electric facilitators are also very silent: limiting noise pollution is essential for a good sustainable agriculture strategy. Think for example of the case of a farm that has to carry out all the vegetable harvesting operations on its land, but does not want to disturb its guests with annoying noises. And above all, think about your operators: prolonged exposure to loud noises, such as those produced by agricultural machinery, can cause hearing damage, stress, tiredness and other health problems, resulting in reduced concentration, increased errors and difficulties in communication. Euro Green Tech's electric agricultural machines are efficient and fast, and allow harvesting operations to be carried out in less time and with greater precision. Sustainable agriculture with Euro Green Tech: optimizes precious resources Choosing our machines means above all contributing to the reduction of long-term operating costs for farmers: thanks to the use of electricity, combined with lower maintenance costs, you can truly optimize precious resources and increase profitability. With our innovative technology, we help farmers achieve better yields faster and with less effort. A plus is the use of solar energy: we have in fact inserted photovoltaic panels in the larger agricultural machinery. This element guarantees a double benefit: protection of the operator from the scorching sun greater energy autonomy thanks to the production of the electrical energy necessary to recharge the batteries All our harvesting aids, such as EGT-ASPARAGO SM, EGT-TOTAL and EGT- ASPARAGUS SE have an exceptional autonomy of 16 hours, and can guarantee you long work sessions without any interruption. We also have EGT-EASY, which is our manual aid for vegetable harvesting and weeding, ideal for crops with a maximum height of 50 cm.
