1980<\/h3>\n

a group of pioneers<\/strong> with a passion for the land, aware of the need to protect the soil and biodiversity, started the organic farming movement<\/strong>.\u00a0 No organic specifications existed at the time. Everything had to be put in place! These organic pioneers helped draft European regulations and national private specifications.<\/p>\n
