Soil loss (along with soil fertility), increasing water demand from agricultural practices and environmental pollution caused by the intensive use of agrochemicals, are among the most pressing issues concerning agriculture sustainability. Biodiversity loss due to land use change and emission of greenhouse gasses from agricultural activities are also

Organic agriculture relies on a number of farming practices based on ecological cycles, and aims at

Following recent evaluations, only 1/20 to 1/60 of the planet species have yet been described and most of these will be lost if the rate of destruction of our environment continues at the present rate.

Hand-sorting and pitfall-trapping were the main sampling systems adopted because they are quick and easy to use and do not require particular skills or tools. Both agroecosystems (organic and conventional) and seminatural environments (planted woods, hedgerows, flooded areas) have been monitored in a coastal lagoon area reclaimed to farmland in North Eastern Italy. Taxa at high hierarchical levels proved to be useful in separating different type of habitat, but were unable to provide information about the type of rural management. Carabidae (Coleoptera) seem particularly useful in studying agroecosystems: 23 species have been collected, mainly in the organic farm and in the hedgerow. The earthworm population was mainly affected by type of soil. In agroecosystems, cultivated fields had fewer individuals with respect to hedgerow, probably due to disturbance caused by soil management practices.

This is the preparation of a special dish, known as "pistic," a collection of 56 wild herbaceous meadow and wood plants which are boiled and then sauteed together. This practice is still alive in a few areas of Friuli today and possibly goes back to pre-Roman Celtic cultures in this part of Friuli. The number of herbaceous plants used in this dish is extraordinarily high (56), especially when compared to the low number normally used in other conventional dishes. "Pistic" is therefore important, not only because it represents a quantitatively high use of wild herbs in the diet of the rural population, but also because it reflects environmental awareness, in that the archaic method of naming, identifying and using these plants still exists today. Similar rural practices include the use of "pot herbs" in Great Britain and in France the cooking of "mesclun. "" Le Pistic, un plat traditionnel de l'ouest du Frioule (Nord-est de l'Italie), fait ~ partir de plus de cinquante plantes sauvages. Dans le Val Colvera, dans l'ouest de Frioule, au nord-est de l'Italie, il existe une petite r~gion, pros de la ville de Pordenone oft un ancien rituel printanier a toujours cours. II s'agit de la preparation d'un plat spdcial, connu sous le nora del "Pistic, "" d base de 56 espkces herbac~es sauvages des pros et des bois, qui sont bouillies, puis rissol~es ensemble. Cette pratique est toujours vivante dans quelques r~gions du Frioule et il est possible de la retrouver jusque dam les cultures celtique, pre-romaines, qui une et des actives dans cette partie du Frioule. Le nombre d'esp~ces herbacPes utilis~es est exceptionnellement ~lev~ (56), sp~cialement quand on le compare au nombre normalement bas d" espdces utilis~es dam d" autres plats. Le Pistic est donc important, non settlement parce quil repr~sente un usage important d'herbes sauvages dans le r~gime des populations rurales, mais aussi parce que la nomenclature archa~'que, utilis~e encore actuellement pour identifier ces plantes est toujours en usage, refl~te une sensibiliM a l'environment.
