Humus social network, history and activities
La Humus social network was formed by the pioneers of organic farming in Italy. Cooperative organizations, associations and people who over the decades have worked together to develop good agricultural practices and awaken the consciences of all in the name of the common good. Which can be achieved on a local scale, thanks to fair and supportive supply chains that operate in synergy, respecting people, the environment and biodiversity.
Agroecology - as common sense suggests e science confirms - is the only way forward to guarantee the populations healthier foods and nutrients, in the necessary quantities, avoiding waste. And it is essential to put an end to the serious environmental pollution still caused by the abuse of agrotoxicants that poison the soils and leach into the waters, causing premature deaths, malformations and diseases.
The activities of the Humus network take the form of operational support for agro-ecological operators and information to consumers. To make the environmental, health and ethical value of organic agriculture and its products tangible. Through synergies between organizations, associations and consumer groups. From seed to fork e from feed to fork, Humus supports organic farming in Italy and promotes the integration of the supply chain in an interactive relationship between those who produce, those who distribute and those who consume.
#Buycott, the hands-free support of Humus
'Enough with GMO soy, palm oil and the meat of American multinationals! The fate of agriculture based on principles of respect for the environment, natural biological cycles, health and the dignity of people must be affirmed. We must reject the food that is the symbol of globalized agro-animal husbandry that devastates the environment and robs the lands of farmers and indigenous peoples. In our country, as in any other part of the world'. (Maurizio Agostino, Humus Social Network, coordinator)
According to Humus those who cultivate manage - more than other economic operators - essential common goods such as land, water, air, food, biodiversity. Therefore, purchases of all goods that originate or contribute to the globalization of the exploitation of human beings and ecosystems must be refused. It takes commitment and attention from all of us, every day. To make sure that palm oil products remain on the shelf until they disappear. And even farmers who do not adhere to the organic system - where the use of GMOs is strictly prohibited - they must in any case stop buying feed that contains GMO soybeans.
Thats enough! Out of the international crimes against humanity and the environment from our foods and our DOP! Consumption, on the other hand, must be oriented towards i products of the short chain, agroecology andpeasant agriculture
