A journey into the green: discovering the stable polyphyte meadow
A journey with Gian Marco Mapelli - Friend of plants and the Assanelli farm
Are you ready to embark on a journey into the heart of nature, to discover an innovative and sustainable forage system? Together with the Plant Friend - Gian Marco Mapelli, we will immerse ourselves in the world of the permanent polyphyte meadow, exploring its benefits for animals, the environment and the territory.
The appointment is at our company, where Simone Assanelli, an expert farmer, will guide you through the secrets of this special meadow.
Together with Gian Marco Mapelli, a well-known scientific communicator and botany enthusiast, we will delve into the unique characteristics of the stable polyphyte meadow, analyzing its composition and its many advantages.
We will understand how this forage system contributes to:
- Improve soil fertility : the deep roots of the various plant species that compose it retain water and prevent erosion, while the decomposition of organic matter enriches the soil with nutrients.
- Promote biodiversity : the permanent polyphyte meadow provides an ideal habitat for a wide variety of insects, birds and other wildlife, helping to preserve the balance of the ecosystem.
- Provide high-quality forage : Grazing animals feed on fresh, nutrient-rich grasses, resulting in higher-quality milk and meat.
But our journey does not stop here. Through the filming of the friend of the Plants, we will be able to admire the beauty of the permanent polyphyte meadow in all its richness and diversity. The images will show us how this forage system integrates perfectly into the rural landscape, helping to create a healthy and harmonious environment.
Get ready to discover a new world, where nature and agriculture meet to create a greener and more sustainable future.
Permanent polyphyte meadow: an ally for animals, the environment and the territory
Our friend Gian Marco Mapelli spends a morning with Simone Assanelli to discover the secrets of the stable polyphyte meadow: an innovative forage system that brings benefits to animals, the environment and the territory.
Not all agriculture is the same: we know this well, and the same goes for cultivated fields. While some are dedicated to intensive crops, others host a unique forage system: the stable polyphyte meadow.
But why "stable"? The answer is simple: this type of lawn is not plowed and reseeded every year, but remains stable over time. This allows the different plant species that compose it to develop and create a complex and resistant ecosystem.
And why "polyphyte"? Because it is not a simple grassy meadow, but a mix of different plant species, including grasses, legumes and wild herbs. This variety guarantees a complete nutritional intake for grazing animals and helps maintain soil fertility.

What is the secret to having more biodiversity? The answer is simple: do nothing! By letting nature take its course, different plant species adapt to the environment and compete with each other, creating a rich and dynamic ecosystem. What is it made of? The stable polyphyte meadow hosts a large variety of plant species, including:

Importance for the soil : The stable polyphyte lawn plays a fundamental role in protecting the soil. Its deep roots anchor it to the ground, preventing erosion and promoting water retention. In addition, the decomposition of organic matter produced by the plants helps improve soil fertility.
Ecosystem services : the permanent polyphyte meadow offers a series of highly valuable ecosystem services, including:
- Carbon sequestration : Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the soil, helping to mitigate climate change.
- Water purification : Plant roots filter rainwater, removing nitrates and other pollutants.
- Biodiversity conservation : The polyphyte meadow provides an ideal habitat for a wide variety of insects, birds and other wildlife.
Pasture : The stable polyphyte meadow is an ideal pasture for animals, which can feed on fresh and nutrient-rich grasses. This type of pasture contributes to the well-being of the animals and the production of high-quality milk and meat.
