The paper aims to draw attention to the need, importance and efficiency of obtaining high quality fruits both in terms of taste and food, by cultivating them in the classic system in households and agritouristic farms. It was also considered very important to promote this traditional way of producing fruit, applying environmentally friendly natural and built cultivation technology, as the effects of climate change are increasingly felt, even if some important states of the world no longer recognize this. We support this mode of cultivation even if it is known that the productions obtained in intensive and super-intensive cultivation system are much higher, but from the research carried out in over 25 years of activity in the field of agrotourism we found that the production obtained in agrotourism capitalized on a higher price, by selling "directly from the farm" as organic products or by serving tourists as fresh fruit or as culinary preparations in a local cuisine specific to the area, households or agritouristic farms. Fruits obtained in this type of crop are generally much tastier and must not contain any chemical residues, as the amount of inputs such as pesticides, insecticides and herbicides applied to crops is much lower or even absent, pensioners must to be very responsible, as they have the obligation to ensure the health and food safety of the guests who visit the tourist reception structure.
