Eat your way through Italy the agriturimos style
(via www.organicpicks.com)
Eat yummy and local food through Italy: Agriturismos are subsidized by the Italian government in an effort to help small, family-run farms to survive in the environment of factory farming. On the contrary back home, the US government subsidizes corn – city sized cornfields. The subsidy creates an eerie mono-culture, depletes valuable top soil, and strips the power from the family farmers and hand it to large corporations.
