Puntata del 09-11-2025 - 2° parte LA COLTURA DEL RISO NELL'AREALE FERRARESE, UNA FILIERA DI QUALITA'

The episode focuses on rice cultivation in the Ferrara area, with particular attention to the Jolanda di Savoia area. In an interview with Massimo Piva, rice grower and vice president of the Italian Farmers' Confederation of Ferrara, the agronomic and economic importance of this crop is examined. It's essential for peat soils located below sea level, which require rice to leach salinity. The discussion ranges from cultivated varieties, such as Cammeo, to production challenges, including extreme environmental conditions, problems caused by wildlife (such as ibises), and weed management. Piva explains the various stages of cultivation and processing, emphasizing the crucial importance of water and the post-harvest drying process. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL FOR NEW VIDEOS! .
