Q

Mezzadria

A

Landowner leased farmland to those who would work it
Landowner took half of each year’s crop as payment
Landowners used grapes to make and sell wine
Farmers used their portion for consumption, so agriculture was polycultural (multiple crops growing together)
Particularly widespread in northern and central Italy
More focused on quantity rather than quality (no incentive to limit yields, and subsistence farmers had no money to invest)
Dedicated vineyards didn’t appear until after mezzadria was abolished in 1960s
