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
