Giorgia Pontetti

I’m Giorgia class 77, I’m an electronic and astronautic engineer (twice is better than 1), I love nature & technology: it’s another way to describe my "crazy" new style farm. Despite my rigid and formal studies as engineer in the 90s, I have always had nature and agriculture in my life, because it is the only source able to make me feel alive. The passion for agriculture has always accompanied me, handed down from my family of humble and peasant origins, as well as the passion for technology that changes continuously, because the dynamism is the best weapon to know and know each other better. I think agriculture plays a fundamental role in the development of all the civilizations of history and today, considering pollution, climate change, overpopulation, it is essential to develop alternative methods of food production that do not compromise the few still functioning ecosystems. I'm CEO of a research center for microelectronics for space applications as well as founder and CEO of Ferrari Farm.
