All ourrice comes from certified organic farmingRiet Vell has a 52 ha farm (see location), enabled as a bird sanctuary thanks to a land stewardship agreement with SEO/BirdLife. Of this area 42 ha are dedicated to rice fields and the remaining 10 ha to the restoration of an interesting wetland that over the years has become one of the best areas of the delta for the observation of waterfowl.
Occasionally, the Delta delta

is a very interesting wetlandOccasionally Riet Vell also buys rice from other ecological producers nearby or even in the surroundings of other protected wetlands, such as the marshes of the Guadalquivir, where there is a very similar relationship between the rice field and the conservation of environmental values
The Ebro Delta is one of the most important wetlands in Europe and is a critical area for the survival of many endangered bird species. The combination of lagoons, reed beds, beaches, bays and rice fields gives the Delta a great diversity of environments that make this biological richness possible. The Ebro Delta is a critical area for the survival of many endangered bird species.
The rice cultivation, and especially the ecological cultivation, is a key element in this ecosystem and on it depends the survival of many species such as the Cangaroo Heron, the Purple Gallinule, the Audouin's Gull, the Purple Heron or the White-faced Tern.
