the farm
The Farm at One Belvedere Tuscany is a 50-hectare regenerative agricultural estate in the heart of Castellina in Chianti, where nature, biodiversity, and sustainable farming shape every experience we create.
Our farm is guided by the principles of regenerative and permaculture agriculture, widely recognized among the most sustainable methods of farming today. These principles were shaped by the groundbreaking research of Masanobu Fukuoka, a Japanese farmer and agricultural philosopher, and by the pioneering work of Allan Savory, the father of holistic management, and early climate activists.
At the core of our approach is a simple idea: that each of us must answer for our own conduct, toward the planet, and toward the present and future of the people around us.
the 6 principles of regenerative agriculture
Regenerative agriculture approaches farming and its repercussions along 6 main guiding principles.
