Insights
Hera Dei Campi continues the heritage of rice growing in Southern Italy by reintroducing rice cultivation to the area, using new growing techniques and varieties. The tradition, which began in 15th century, was abandoned in 1820 due to environmental damage, but now rice is again grown on the Sele plain, this time as a part of sustainable and ecological crop rotation.
