Sustainability

Quinoa cultivation can be the sustainable answer to climate change and its consequences.

Low Environmental Impact

Irrigation and fertilization needs are minimal. The Greek production of ARISTI QUINOA by Violar S.A. has a particularly small environmental footprint in terms of greenhouse gases due to its cultivation model and the shorter transportation distances to European markets.

Water Footprint & Carbon Footprint

The water footprint during cultivation is particularly low due to the plant’s minimal irrigation needs, thanks to its adaptation to the harsh conditions of the Andes.
We accurately measure the carbon footprint, which is the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted during the life cycle of Aristi quinoa, including production and transportation.

Good Practices in Smart Farming

Aristi quinoa is cultivated with integrated management of sustainable smart farming practices, taking into account limited irrigation, crop rotation, biodiversity, fallow periods, and regenerative processes.

Traceability and Transparency

The management of our cultivation is supported by modern digital tools that verify our sustainable farming practices, captured through smart QR Codes. This ensures 100% transparency and traceability of production and origin. We know exactly who our growers are, the precise location of the fields, the exact methods used to cultivate Aristi quinoa, and the resources employed during cultivation. All of this is digitally recorded and certified by independent certification bodies. This allows our customers, end consumers, and anyone interested to easily track the journey of Aristi quinoa throughout the entire production and supply chain, from field to shelf.
