Abstract: The environmental issue has become a major subject of debate also in the field of social sciences. Sociological studies have shown how an anthro-pocentric approach is often adopted in political and scientific contexts, with knowledge acquiring a technical value aimed at changing both individual and collective behavior. This paper explores the management of an agricultural cooperative that goes beyond the conventional criteria of sustainability. One of the first organic farming businesses in Italy, the company in question has developed a management model in which scientific, technological, and economic knowledge helps to understand the relationship between nature and human beings, in a process of information sharing that involves business partners, stakeholders, and consumers.
