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
