More young people choose to return to agriculture in Piemonte

| Geschreven door Karina

A few months ago, a study was published  on the increase of young people engaged in the agricultural sector.

 

How many young farmers are there in the province?

La Granda is the green province par excellence: with over twenty thousand companies, the agricultural sector is the first for the number of companies registered in the Chamber of Commerce, with a value of just under 30%, a result that also applies to the number of companies in pink (35.3%) and for young people engaged in agriculture (21.6%). In recent years, we have witnessed a renewal process of vital importance for companies, with a significant number of young people entering the agricultural world, both taking over from family activities and creating new businesses. As of 31 December 2017, 1,384 farms of young entrepreneurs were registered in the province of Cuneo. As far as the distribution of enterprises is concerned, agriculture precedes all the other sectors.

What happens in our territory reflects the national data. Italy with over 55 thousand farms run by under 35 is at the top in Europe for the number of young people employed in the sector. The growth is also confirmed by the increase of agricultural students, in high school and at university. Faced with economic and productive scenarios that fail to ensure a stable future, young people increasingly choose a future linked to the earth. The generational change must be further strengthened, accompanying it with the Rural Development Plan, which is fundamental in creating opportunities and giving space to the establishment of new companies.

What are the main characteristics of this return to agriculture?

The return to work in the countryside is also encouraged by the diffusion of new technologies, because, according to our surveys, young people use the Web every day, one in four graduates, while eight out of ten are used to traveling and going abroad. a peculiarity that helps them to enter new markets and enhance their products around the world.

In addition to the more traditional ones, linked to family farms, such as breeding, fruit growing and viticulture, young companies are dedicated to the rediscovery of ancient grains, to food and environmental education activities with schools, farms and educational gardens, up to the paths of pet therapy. There are many facets that see young people increasingly protagonists of agriculture, with a sensitivity and a strong focus on the environment and social.

 The Vinum public reveals an increasingly higher profile every year. We have hosted families with young visitors who are attentive, demanding, curious to know and to know. The experiential offer, among the aperitifs and visits of Vinum in the winery and the insights of Vinum meets, was a winning element on which we intend to aim for the next edition on which we are already working. 
 
"It was a very successful edition of Vinum 2018", underlines the Mayor of Alba Maurizio Marello and the city councilor for the events and tourism Fabio Tripaldi. "Thousands of people have filled our city with a new record in terms of attendance at the event born 42 years ago. This makes us enormously pleased. The format of the open-air vinegar with tastings in the squares next to the quality street food offered by our villages and the great wines at the Palazzo Mostre e Congressi, together with the richness of the gastronomic products of our territory, has proved successful again. Now our city is visited by tourists from all over the world. However, we continue to work on promoting networking with other players and moving in the national and international context together with the other 25 UNESCO world cities creative city of gastronomy, thanks to the recognition arrived at the end of October 2017 and which is already bringing us remarkable results ».
 
The territories in which our wines are born are the most suitable places to deepen the knowledge of the most famous names and to discover the less known ones. The enthusiasm of wine lovers who participated in Vinum was not limited to tastings in the streets of Alba, but thanks to a virtuous system of territorial promotion in the round, made sure that they could visit the cellars, get to know the producers and taste the typical products through the local cuisine. All without forgetting the more formative side of the experience: on the occasion of the appointments organized by the Piedmontese wine protection consortia, they had the opportunity to obtain information in a more technical and timely manner, thanks to the expertise of the speakers 
 

The home of Levi will be transformed in a brand new museum

| Geschreven door Karina
 
 
 
"Thanks we met." With this phrase, a small circle of friends recalled, on the tenth anniversary of the death, Romano Levi, the "angelic grappaiolo", known worldwide for its grappas, distilled with the direct fire alembic, made unique by the labels hand drawn. In the main hall of the School of White Art, we met those who had known Romano and his sister Lidia and who, after their disappearance, worked to ensure that the work and memory of the Levi were not lost.
 
The anniversary was the occasion for Roberto Cerrato, director of the Center for studies on the cultural landscape of the Langhe, to hand over to the current owners of the distillery, Luigi Schiappapietra and Lucio Scaratti, the plate "The places of memory and tradition of the vineyards". The recognition, sponsored by the Association for the wine-producing landscapes of Langhe-Roero, wants to reiterate that the culture and the history of the territory continue to live in the memory of those figures who helped to write the story.
 
Today we found ourselves, to remember the man, before the grappaiolo and the artist. Personally I have never met Levi, but I had the opportunity to know him through what I read and the stories of those who knew him. A man who has had great respect for the female world, nature and animals, "said Scaratti. The journalist Beppe Orsini recalled some of his famous utterances. Asked if he felt more like an artist or a poet, Levi replied: "I am just a grappaiolo", and he stated that his best collection was handshakes. "It is our intention to restructure the house of Romano and Lidia, to make it accessible and transform it into a real museum", concluded Schiappapietra.
