Filippo Cappelli wrote an article on the Autonomous Agricultural Outpost for LA STAMPA in Generazione Pianeta: “An agricultural outpost to protect the land”.
“Everything we do is aimed at protecting the environment. But I didn’t come here to live like a hermit. I feel like I’m in a place that forces me to be a conscientious citizen,” Sofia explained to the journalist, adding that donkeys are “extremely eco-friendly animals” because, in addition to their good memory, which allows them to remember a route after travelling it just once, they move in a way that respects the morphology of the terrain. Donkeys never follow a straight line, but follow the contours of the land, respecting the morphology of the territory, taking the least strenuous route. ‘They are energy-saving animals,’ said Sofia with a laugh, ‘they come from the desert, where they have adopted living strategies to conserve their strength for longer’. As all humans should do. Come dovrebbero fare tutti gli umani.
