The use of living soil and aquaponics revolutionises flower 🥦 cultivation by combining fish farming and living soil in a sustainable ecosystem. Fish waste provides essential nutrients, and the combination with living soil creates happy plants, leading to healthier flower. This innovative approach reduces resource consumption and minimizes environmental impact, setting new standards for sustainable agriculture in the industry. ------------------- #Aquaponics #SustainableFarming #PlantCultivation #EcoInnovation #cleangreencertified #organic #aqualitasinc #passion #broccoli

🌾 Why Do Some Farmers Fail to Transition? #Ecological_Farming Belongs Only to Those Who Strive for #Soil_Health and Shared Prosperity 🌱 🌍 Transitioning to ecological farming is a commitment that requires vision, sincerity, and a deep respect for the land. It’s a journey best suited for those who see farming as more than profit; they see it as a path to building a healthier, more resilient world. At Earth Foods, we believe ecological farming isn’t just about practices—it’s about principles. Farmers driven by genuine passion for soil health and community benefit are the ones who succeed, transforming not only their land but their communities and the quality of food they produce. For those short-sighted, solely profit-driven individuals, this transition can be challenging. But for those willing to embrace change and act with their whole heart, ecological farming offers more than yield; it offers a chance to contribute to a sustainable future for all. 🌱 Are you ready to make a difference, both for yourself and for generations to come? Join us in the mission to promote Fair Trade to Soil’s Elements (https://lnkd.in/gADW7CaJ) and create a lasting impact on soil health and human health alike. ➡️Explore how we can support your journey: Bright Flames, visit us at Bright Flames, Lasting Legacy #EcologicalFarming #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture #FairTradeToSoil #EarthFoods #WholeheartedFarming #FutureOfAgriculture #SharedProsperity

Is there a nutritional difference between conventional olives and those grown using regenerative practices? We are about to find out! I am very proud of our NGO co-founder, Raiza Rezende, for leading the nutrient density research in the Arboinnova project managed by Agrosystemic. We need to create food supply chains in which the nutritional value and health of the soil are priorities by all of the steholders along the chain. Nothing is more crucial than restoring soil productivity while increasing the health-promoting nutrient composition in our food.

🌳 Arbo-Innova is a collaborative project aimed at addressing the ecological challenges of intensive olive and almond farming through regenerative agriculture practices. 🍄 The project focuses on improving soil health, crop resilience, and nutrient density in these high-intensity systems. 🌿 RHEA leads the research on #nutrientdensity, studying how regenerative practices impact the nutritional profiles of olives and almonds. ✅ The European Union leads the world in olive oil production, responsible for 68% of global output. ✅ Spain alone produces over 1.4 million tons of olive oil annually, accounting for 40-45% of global production. ✅ Intensive systems are particularly vulnerable to #climatechange due to their high water dependency. ✅ Intensive systems face #ecological challenges such as soil erosion, water overexploitation, and biodiversity loss. Get in touch if you are working with olive and/or almonds, we would love to exchange! Agrosystemic #regenerativeagriculture #regenag #nutrientdense #olives #almonds

Impactful project just started in Portugal with our RHEA - Regenerative Healthcare European Association calculating the nutrient density of crops, native to the Mediterranean climate and comparing them to the different ways of farming.

Insights from the Field: Exploring Ginger Crop at Akole 🌿 I recently had the privilege of visiting ginger plots and immersing myself in the world of ginger cultivation. Here are some key takeaways from this enlightening experience 🚜 Hands-On Learning: Walking through the ginger fields, I gained a deeper appreciation for the meticulous care that goes into each stage of cultivation. From planting to harvesting, every step is meticulously planned to ensure the highest quality yield. 🌱 Sustainable Practices: Green Valley Farm impressed me with their commitment to sustainable agriculture. They use organic compost and natural fertilizers to enrich the soil, promoting healthy growth without harming the environment. Innovative irrigation techniques and integrated pest management further underscore their dedication to eco-friendly farming. 🌍 Environmental Consciousness: I was inspired by their efforts in environmental stewardship. Crop rotation and cover cropping not only maintain soil fertility but also contribute to biodiversity conservation and erosion control. 👨🌾 Meeting the Farmers: Passion for ginger farming and dedication to community education are truly commendable.🍃 Zydex Industries #Ginger #Organicfarming #Sustainableagriculture #fieldvisit #savesoil #Innovatingforsustainability #Zytonic

🌱 Unlocking the essence of Cover Crops Cover crops are more than just plants; they are key players in maintaining soil health, reducing erosion, and improving water retention. These crops protect the soil surface, enhance biodiversity, and contribute to a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.

🌿 Digging Deeper: The Dirty Truth About Intensive Agriculture! 🌿 Intensive agricultural practices have been the most used for food production for centuries. However, their impact on our soil health is profound and often concerning. 🚜 Intensive farming and the overuse of chemical fertilizers lead to soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and reduced organic matter. 🌾 Monoculture crops decrease soil biodiversity, making it more susceptible to pests and diseases. 💧 Traditional plowing disrupts soil structure, reducing its ability to retain water and increasing runoff. 🌱 Through innovative techniques and community engagement, we're working towards a future where our soils are rich, resilient, and productive. 🔄 Join Us: Be part of the movement https://inbestsoil.app/ #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture #SoilRestoration #EcoFriendlyFarming #AgricultureImpact #HealthySoilHealthyPlanet #EuropeanProject

The power of rotation and cover crops When it comes to soil health, rotation and cover cropping are fundamental. Our agronomist Bobby Sandeman explains: "When you plant the same crop repeatedly, you deplete the soil and invite pests. By rotating crops and planting cover crops, the balance is restored." Cover crops do more than just fill space, they: - Enhance soil structure, - Provide habitats for pollinators, and - Reduce erosion Our farms are buzzing with life, thanks to carefully chosen plant species that enrich the soil and ultimately strentghen our flowers.

What is sustainable land management in agriculture? 1. Stop tilling or digging the soil (no-till). 2. Keep the soil surface always covered with dry leaves or other organic matter (mulching). 3. Keep the soil surface always covered with green plants (cover cropping). 4. Create plant biodiversity (multilayer polycropping). 5. Avoid all sorts of external inputs in agriculture such as fertilisers and pesticides and depend on natural nutrient cycle for plant growth and depend on natural control for permanent management of pests, diseases and weeds.
