CURIOSITY'

In recent years, with the abandonment of agriculture and the Isernia area, especially by young people, the Isernia onion has been increasingly marginalized from the local context, at risk of disappearing if it were not for the invaluable work of the "custodian farmers," who have continued to perpetuate this ancient cultivation.

Unfortunately, these farmers, mostly hobbyists and increasingly elderly, are unable to find the right generational replacement, with the risk that upon their earthly departure this ancient cultivation will cease and all the delicacies they produce will disappear.

The activities of the “Cipolla bianca di Isernia” association and the “ LAI Cooperative ” are channeled along this path: to re-promote the culture of protecting the Isernia bulb by encouraging new generations, both young and old, to cultivate this product, and by seeking to create virtuous paths aimed at establishing entrepreneurial agricultural activities.

By purchasing one of the following products based on Isernia white onion, you will give the opportunity to continue the cultivation and distribution of the Isernia bulb, as well as allowing the continuation of the activities of the disabled children of the LAI Cooperative.

LAI , an acronym for Lavoro Anch'Io, is a social cooperative that focuses on the employment integration of people with disabilities.
