Prevalenza di aree collinari e montane, bassa antropizzazione, significativa presenza di boschi, prati e corsi d’acqua.
2. Qualità ambientale verificata
Analisi di dati oggettivi relativi a qualità dell’aria, delle acque e dello stato ecologico del territorio.

Presenza di aree di pregio naturalistico e ambientale, dove la biodiversità rappresenta un elemento identitario.
5. Coerenza con un modello agricolo sostenibile
Territori vocati a pratiche agricole responsabili, rispettose dell’ambiente e orientate alla qualità.
La delimitazione di Natural Valley rappresenta una scelta di responsabilità:
garantisce condizioni ambientali di eccellenza, tutela la genuinità delle produzioni, offre ai consumatori una promessa di valore affidabile e sostiene un’agricoltura radicata in territori verdi e resilienti.
