6. Definizione di coltivatore diretto.


Ai fini della presente legge sono affittuari coltivatori diretti coloro che coltivano il fondo con il lavoro proprio e della propria famiglia, sempreché tale forza lavorativa costituisca almeno un terzo di quella occorrente per le normali necessità di coltivazione del fondo, tenuto conto, agli effetti del computo delle giornate necessarie per la coltivazione del fondo stesso, anche dell'impiego delle macchine agricole.

agree  Emily Goodpaster: I agree that this is a good general description of (Derek's words) 'non-industrial' farming. Of course, independent farms are usually small and family-run, so the others fit as well.

small farms


Explanation:
Hi
Although this is not a direct translation maybe "small farms" would fit your context better - I think it's safe to say that a small farm would be construed as a business run by a farmer rather than an industrial farming enterprise.
Cheers

direct cultivation/cultivated by local farmers


Explanation:
a local farmer here is intended as a small operation which is close to the point of distribution of the product, insuring the freshness of it when sold to the public.
