🐄 About Marco

Marco and his wife left city life behind to regenerate a wild plateau in central Italy. Today, their farm thrives without pesticides or synthetic inputs, using livestock, trees, and rotational grazing to restore the land. His story is a masterclass in ecosystem restoration and sustainable farming — grounded in science and lived experience.
