Italian agriculture is one of the 'greenest', most sustainable and safest in Europe, according to data released on Monday by farmers' union Coldiretti at a meeting on multifunctionality in agriculture in light of Milan Expo 2015.
Italy produces 35% less greenhouse gas compared the EU average, and has the lowest number of agricultural products with chemical residue – just 0.2%, one-third less than last year's figure and ten times less than the EU average. Italy also has the most organic farmers in Italy, with 43,852 businesses, representing 17% of European organic farming.
