Eco tomatoes are coming again at Lidl

Lidl has been cooperating with the Research Institute for the 6th year now, within the framework of which the special Ceglédi yellow, Faddi, Máriapócs cocktail, and Tolna County ragged seedlings will be on the shelves this year. The aim of the discount chain is to contribute to the rise of domestic varieties, the preservation of our agricultural heritage and the promotion of sustainable farming through cooperation, in addition to supporting health-conscious nutrition. Landscape varieties are diverse plant varieties created over a long period of time through natural and human selection. Over the centuries, they have adapted excellently to the features of the domestic “landscape”, thanks to their diversity they have an outstanding adaptability and are therefore more resistant. For 5 years, the Ecological Agricultural Research Institute investigated which Hungarian landscape varieties of tomatoes can best be grown using ecological methods. In 2017, it launched the promotion of the best local varieties of tomatoes as a result of research, which Lidl Hungary joined two years later, thereby supporting the nationwide expansion of the campaign.
