Companion Planting

StarStarStarStar

Companion planting strategically locates crops that have mutually beneficial relationships, which can deter pests, attract pollinators, and improve plant growth, thereby enriching biodiversity.

StarStarStarStar

Cover Cropping

StarStarStarStar

Using cover crops like legumes or green manure to improve soil quality by fixing nitrogen, reducing erosion, and providing habitats for beneficial organisms, thereby enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem stability.

StarStarStarStar

Intercropping

StarStarStarStar

Intercropping involves growing two or more crops in proximity to each other, promoting a symbiotic relationship between plants which can increase biodiversity and lead to more robust ecosystems.

StarStarStarStar

Forest Gardening

StarStarStarStar

Creating a low-maintenance plant-based food production system based on woodland ecosystems, forest gardening fosters a high level of plant and animal biodiversity and creates natural resilience.

StarStarStarStar

Crop Rotation

StarStarStarStar

Rotating crops over time reduces pest populations, minimizes soil-borne diseases, and increases soil fertility and structure, thus supporting diverse soil biota and contributing to ecosystem resilience.

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Incorporating trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems diversifies and stabilizes the ecosystem by conserving soil, water, and biodiversity, and offering habitats for various wildlife species.

StarStarStarStar

Permaculture

StarStarStarStar

This holistic approach integrates land, resources, people, and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies, imitating the no waste, closed-loop systems seen in diverse natural ecosystems, enhancing resilience and biodiversity.

StarStarStarStar

Polyculture Orchards

StarStarStarStar

Growing multiple types of fruit trees and plants together in orchards can create a more diverse habitat for various species, reducing the risk of pests and disease and increasing resilience against environmental fluctuations.
