The article contains interesting statements by Giuseppe Li Rosi (custodian of the seed mix for the soft wheat population called Furat and president of the Simenza association) to which the farmers who cultivate the corresponding evolutionary wheat population belong.

Today, the harvest of this evolutionary population that grows at medium altitude in Sicily is used for milling Petra Evolutiva, a flour that represents the project supporting the supply chain (and not just to purchase wheat) carried out by Petra Molino Quaglia and Simenza for the past five years.

The Petra Evolutiva project has grown to such an extent that for the past two years a growing group of pizzaioli, bakers and pastry chefs have agreed to 'adopt' a hectare of crop to obtain 'their' flour and finance the project from the moment of sowing.

So a unique example of sensitivity and support for the supply chain was born in Italy that considers the environmental risk implications not only for the farmer, but also for those who first transform wheat, and for the professionals of baking.

Each 'adopter' of the Furat wheat population is listed in a digital register to guarantee perfect traceability from seed to bag of flour. And in this list of adopters neither the name nor the company to which refers the quoted text '...and we have decided to adopt the Furat population (...) of Li Rosi'. Is this yet another 'sly' joining the ranks of those who misappropriate the work of others rather than contribute new ideas and commitment to the environmental and farming sustainability, something they brag about without restraint?
