The ColtivoBio project
I founded ColtivoBio in 2015 as an independent technical platform for reliable, practical, and science-based agricultural information.
The English section of ColtivoBio is written for growers, farmers, gardeners, and agricultural professionals in the United States and other English-speaking markets. It covers integrated pest management, crop nutrition, horticulture, and practical agronomic methods, combining European research experience with issues relevant to international agriculture.
Communication and knowledge sharing
ColtivoBio is a digital agriculture project that includes:
In-depth technical articles
Facebook and Instagram channels
A YouTube channel covering practical agronomic topics
The goal is to build a bridge between research and the field, providing clear, rigorous, and immediately useful content.
