Benefits

If you are a central purchasing or distribution chain, we guarantee you suppliers with a positive impact on the environment.

A Silent Epidemic

What are we eating? How many pesticides do we ingest in our lifetime? Do we produce to sell or to eat?

The producer trilemma

Let’s be realistic: transforming the mode of production will take years of harvesting. Producers (conventional or organic) are faced with the trilemma of increasing production, making it healthier and at competitive costs.

Conventional and waste 0

Whether due to production costs or increased environmental requirements, production methods are converging towards a transformation of the agricultural model in the face of a stricter European regulatory framework and a forthcoming European directive that will prohibit environmental self-declarations. Transparency versus greenwashing.

Exploitation demands waste-free products

Our country produces for export, European markets and consumers are increasingly demanding, but their purchasing power cannot pay the organic differential. So Waste 0 offers a realistic alternative.

Guarantee mark in Europe

Guarantee of healthy production

We propose a programme that was born in 2009 after ten years of R+D+i with producers from the Murcian market garden that allows us to produce in a sustainable way.

Thanks to our voluntary standard, we offer a tailor-made solution: regulations, producers, laboratories, certifiers, distributors are aligned. Conventional and/or ecological.

After 15 years of implementation in the peninsula, our models of agriculture without pesticide residues and regenerative agriculture are beginning to establish themselves in the market.

What crops are most recommended for Regenerative Agriculture?2022-03-03T14:13:10+01:00

Regenerative agriculture focuses on soil health and biodiversity. Some of the crops recommended for regenerative agriculture are fruit trees and citrus. Additionally, crop rotation is a common practice in regenerative agriculture and can help improve soil health.

What is the difference between Regenerative and ecological farming?2024-09-03T13:40:57+02:00

Ecological farming and regenerative agriculture share some principles and practices, but regenerative agriculture focuses on creating sustainable, regenerative farming systems that promote biodiversity and the restoration of healthy ecosystems, while ecological farming focuses on producing food without the use of synthetic chemicals. Although organic farming refers to a broader term, which includes different types of agriculture that, like regenerative agriculture, minimize the impact of agricultural activity on the land.

What role does the community play in promoting sustainable and regenerative agricultural systems?2024-09-03T13:42:27+02:00

The community can play an important role in promoting sustainable and regenerative agricultural systems through education and promotion of sustainable agricultural practices.

How can I start implementing regenerative agriculture in my field?2024-09-03T13:02:11+02:00

Some regenerative farming practices you can implement on your farm are: cover crops to protect the soil and maintain life within it, crop rotation to improve soil health and reduce erosion, organic manures to improve soil fertility and reduce reliance on chemical fertilisers, and encouraging biodiversity through the introduction of natural solutions. In addition, you can also plant cover crops throughout the year to avoid bare soil and mitigate erosion.
