Biological cultivation and varietal selection of the carob tree

Experimental field for the biological cultivation and varietal selection of the carob tree.

Our plantation will be free of pesticides and other chemicals. We have developed an organic amendment from the skin of the seed, thus taking advantage of the by-products generated in the locust bean gum manufacturing proces to achieve the goal of zero residue.

The carob plantation helps in the fight against climate change and global warming.
