Food is distributed in the restaurant, as mentioned above, but also in markets and at a storefront in Viterbo, and separately in Rome on a door to door basis through a company called Biobox.
As 80% of the world's agricultural providers are women, I thought it would be interesting to explore the role of women at Agriturismo Arvalia. I will analyze the restaurant component of their system using a gender lens and accompanied by a daily calendar tool.
Patrizia is on the right.
Patrizia's Role as the owner of the agriturismo is as follows:
She is responsible for procurement, food distribution, and maintaining the network with other farms in the area so they can respond to demand while keeping prices at a reasonable level.
There are 13 farm staff, 3 men and 10 women a relatively clearcut example of an agricultural system with mostly women workers. Some of the women have children of their own, having left their jobs to raise them, and then had difficulty returning to work. They found jobs at the agriturismo. Some of the female staff are relatively young, about 20 years old.
Andrei does not actually have a role on the farm. He is "staying there as a guest." The board of the Italian Organic Farmers' Association is composed of 2 men and 2 women.
