Join Mirko Matteucci on “I Mestieri di Mirko” as he travels to Lake Salto, the largest artificial lake in Lazio near Rieti, to discover innovative hydroponic farming techniques.
Georgia Pontetti, despite her youth, has made significant advances in agronomy, patenting hydroponic and chemical-free growing systems originally developed for Martian agriculture and now applicable to sustainable farming methods on Earth. Her commitment to organic farming practices stems from her family’s purchase of the hill where her grandparents once farmed as sharecroppers.
The hydroponic farming methods discussed in this episode use carefully selected plant varieties to create synergistic microsystems that naturally repel pests, allowing you to grow impressive crops each year without the need for chemicals.
The study of hydroponic and synergistic farming methods in Lake Salto highlights not only innovative farming methods, but also their potential for sustainable food production both locally and beyond. Georgia Pontetti’s pioneering efforts highlight the importance of combining advanced technology with environmental stewardship in shaping the future of agriculture.
