Soil organic
matter matters
With the Carbofarm programme you benefit twice:
You improve soil activity and fertility, and you receive financial compensation for the carbon stored.
Reduce Production Costs
One way to optimize production is to reduce costs.
​
Soil renewal technology is not about achieving record yields, it's about getting the most out of your input.
Atmospheric Carbon Sequestration
The reduction of CO2 emissions has been part of the public discourse for decades . Carbon produced by large emitters (autos, aerospace, etc.) can be "sunk" into the soils of regenerative farmers, who can earn carbon credits in return. This is done by less tilling, increasing carbon stocks, and optimising inputs, and can then be resold on the carbon market.
Compliance with the New Common Agricultural Policy
The new cycle of the Common Agricultural Policy will rely even more on increasing biodiversity and reducing emissions. The reduction of pesticides, the use of cover crops, the minimisation of soil disturbance and the integration of livestock are consistent with the principles of soil health and increase nutrients.
Principles for a Healthy Soil
know the context
Our soil health practice is a reflection of ourselves and our responsibility to the land.
DO NOT DISTURB
No need for excessive mechanical or chemical interference in nature.
Structure of a ground cover
... applying some care to protect the "skin" of the earth.
MIX IT UP
... with a diversity of plants, microbes, insects, wildlife and livestock. Mother Nature doesn't have monocultures, so why should we?
living roots
in the ground
Leave them there as long as possible. Roots nourish the soil organisms that nourish our plants.
healthy animals and soil go together
Grazing has always been an essential part of healthy soils.
