Our Observatory
Enhancing biodiversity,
promoting rural ethics
From the heart of Mount Soratte, Uova Naturali is our independent outreach project. We combine direct agricultural experience with research to share clear, verified information on the poultry sector and animal welfare.
Research and food awareness
We work to spread greater awareness about the resources of the rural world. Moving away from industrial logic, we focus on a practical goal: enhancing biodiversity and promoting farm-to-table alternatives that respect both animals and the environment.
This journey stems from a daily need: ensuring safe and traceable nutrition, with a particular focus on developing high-quality protein sources also for the diet of our dogs (Pomeranians). Our work of study and outreach rests on three pillars:
Rural Biodiversity
We study and promote the protection of genetic heritage and rustic poultry breeds, fundamental for a healthy agricultural ecosystem and sustainable farming.
Natural Nutrition
Research and development of short-supply-chain food alternatives that are safe and of high biological value, ideal for conscious consumption and integration into our Pomeranians' diet.
Ethical Practices
We promote alternatives to intensive exploitation. We provide information on zootechnical methods that place animal welfare and their natural biological rhythms at the center.
The Authors
The editorial content is curated by Bianca Madalina Crismaru and Federico Fantacone. The project was born from a shared life choice: leaving urban rhythms to get closer to nature, dedicating ourselves to agriculture and respectful animal farming.
The hills of Mount Soratte have long been home to our ethical breeding program for the Pomeranian. Living in close contact with our dogs, we felt the need to seek alternatives to the pet food industry, in order to offer them healthy, traceable, and unprocessed food.
Delving into the poultry sector was the next step to integrate farm-to-table protein sources. Today, we share this direct experience through an independent information portal, designed to help people make more conscious and informed food choices.
Our Qualifications
To provide precise and reliable content, our technical and zootechnical articles are supported by certified and directly verifiable competencies:
Guaranteeing accurate information on biosecurity and animal welfare, in compliance with the Italian Ministry of Health Decree (Sept 6, 2023).
HACCP Level 3 Certification, ensuring that our content on nutrition and storage complies with proper health and hygiene regulations.
The Environment Where We Operate
Our headquarters are located in Sant'Oreste (Rome), in a setting that allows us to closely observe the dynamics of the rural ecosystem.
We are situated within an ecological corridor between two important protected areas in Lazio, providing the ideal environment for our field activities:
- The Monte Soratte Nature Reserve: a pristine limestone island overlooking the Tiber valley.
- The Nazzano Tevere-Farfa Nature Reserve: a crucial area for birdlife and local biodiversity.
Associations and Affiliations
We participate in the activities of trade associations to exchange ideas, stay updated, and support best practices in the poultry sector.
