Eco holidays, agrotourism, organic farms

Organic tourism or bio tourism or agritourism or agrotourism is a kind of tourism that brings the visitor in direct contact with agricultural activities at organic farms.

More and more people turn to organic farming, that is to say farming without using any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. The methods that are used are usually centuries old and include crop rotation, using animal manure or compost as fertilizer and natural methods such as plant extracts and mixed cultivation of plants to protect the crops from diseases and harmful insects. The main idea is to promote as much biodiversity as possible, so that the crops are less vulnerable to any infections. In simple words, if you have a field full of corn and a plant disease or insect that likes corn comes along, your whole crop is doomed. If, on the other hand, you have a field with many different sorts of plants, insects and animals, both cultivated and wild, the chance of a pest affecting you is much smaller. The ecosystem itself will maintain a balance.

As organic farming has grown, so has the interest of people in such projects. Many organic farms offer accommodation and food in the farm so that guests can see for themselves and even participate in the farm activities. The food served is also 100% organic and the truth is that food tastes much better if you have gotten your own hands dirty to help produce it!

You can experience real organic holidays at the Bioporos farm , in the south of Corfu, or you can go for a more varied and adventurous holiday with the Corfu Scout who can create a unique eco vacation for you, according to your wishes!

Green energy for the Greek island of Corfu

Corfu is one of the greenest islands in Greece due to its fertile vegetation. But there is also something going on in terms of sustainability. In April 2021, Sunfarming GmbH commissioned two photovoltaic systems on the Greek island.

The construction of the green energy plants corresponds to a modification of the Food & Energy Training Center developed by Sunfarming, which is already operated at universities in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and Turkey. The raised PV tables with a height of 2.3 m by 3.3 m are covered with bifacial double glass PV modules and the space in between is closed with a trapezoidal light band. Protection from direct sunlight and heavy rain offers the possibility of cultivating plants in arid areas and reducing water requirements.

In the Sunfarming Food & Energy lounge at Villa KaliMeera, a water-saving drip hose system is being laid to irrigate tomatoes, cucumbers and other local plants, the fruits of which are available to hotel guests as a fresh snack to pick themselves.

Climate and resource neutral travel

The calculated annual energy yield is around 16,500 kilowatt hours, one third of which can be purchased directly and two thirds can be used indirectly via a net metering billing system.

The tour operator ReNatour from Nuremberg designs the trips offered as climate and resource neutral as possible and the CO2 emissions caused by the journey can also be neutralized by the guests in cooperation with atmosfair gGmbH. The non-profit climate protection organization with a focus on "travel" supports the implementation of projects with donations that effectively reduce the emission of climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions and promote the long-term retention of carbon dioxide - including this SUNfarming project in Corfu.

Gigantic virtual energy storage system

What the locations were still missing in order to become more climate-neutral is the electrical energy supply through renewable energies, according to Aias. Since the inadequate use of renewable energies in Greece makes it virtually impossible to purchase green electricity from the grid, the only alternative is to produce on-site solar energy with photovoltaic systems. Thanks to the cooperation between SUNfarming and atmosfair, this goal has now been achieved and two PV systems with a total capacity of 25 kilowatts have been installed, which from now on take care of 100% of the electrical energy supply for the hotels.

With the help of the new Greek net metering system , the energy that is not directly consumed is fed into the public power grid, registered by the network operator and drawn back from the grid as an equivalent at a later point in time as required. In this way, the seasonal operation can mathematically fall back on year-round sustainably generated energy. With this concept, the public grid functions as a gigantic virtual energy storage system and has the advantage over stationary PV storage systems of unlimited storage capacity and duration as well as the avoidance of additional investments. The fee incurred per kilowatt hour removed is a few cents and is below the specific costs per kilowatt hour stored by market-leading lithium-ion storage systems.

In this way, the existing solar potential , which in Greece is up to 1500 kilowatt hours per kilowatt - up to 150% of the German level - can be used particularly effectively and sensibly. (mfo)
