Reconciling Nature and Agriculture: Restoring nature and improving biodiversity through agroecological farming practices
NO PLOWING AND PERMANENT SOIL COVER
Halting plowing and maintaining permanent soil cover with main crops and cover crops enhance soil life (bacteria, fungi, earthworms, etc.), serving as a trophic base for numerous other organisms, including birds.
DEVELOP A DENSE ECOLOGICAL NETWORK
A dense ecological network includes grass strips arranged across the entire farmland including wildflower meadows. This ecological network benefits predators and parasitoids of crop pests and has a positive impact on birds (grey partridge, songbirds like the red-backed shrike) and mammals (hare, roe deer, etc.).
