Agro-ecology

The agro-ecological approach taken by Farm of the Future is based on three mutually reinforcing elements:

• Soil quality as a fundamental
• Crop diversity
• Landscape maintenance

At the Farm of the Future, you can see how to put these elements into practice in your own business. You can learn how to:

• Restore and make use of biodiversity in and around an arable farming business
• Maintain and improve soil quality through arable crop rotation
• Achieve strong crop yields with minimal use of chemicals and minimal emissions
• Organise your soil and water management system to mitigate the risks of extreme weather events
