Silvopasture

StarStarStarStar

Silvopasture is the practice of combining forestry and grazing of domesticated animals in a mutually beneficial way. This can lead to more sustainable land use, carbon sequestration, and protection of livestock from extreme weather.

Cover Cropping

StarStarStarStar

Cover cropping uses certain plant species grown to cover the soil rather than for harvest. They prevent erosion, improve soil structure and fertility, suppress weeds, and can enhance water retention.

Holistic Planned Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Holistic planned grazing involves carefully planned livestock movement to mimic natural grazing patterns. This can lead to improved soil health, carbon sequestration, and increased biodiversity of grassland ecosystems.

No-till Farming

StarStarStarStar

No-till farming is the practice of growing crops without disturbing the soil through tillage. It promotes soil health by preserving soil structure, enhancing water infiltration, and increasing organic matter retention.

Crop Rotation

StarStarStarStar

Crop rotation involves alternating the species of crops grown in a particular area across different seasons or years. This technique enhances soil fertility, reduces soil erosion, and helps break cycles of pests and diseases.

Biochar Application

StarStarStarStar

Biochar is a charcoal-like substance made from biomass and used as a soil amendment. Its application can improve soil health, reduce nutrient leaching, and sequester carbon for long-term benefits to the soil ecosystem.

Composting

StarStarStarStar

Composting is the process of recycling organic matter into a rich soil amendment. This practice enriches the soil, reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, and can help sequester carbon in the soil.

Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry is the integration of trees and shrubs into farming systems. This approach can increase biodiversity, sequester carbon, improve water cycles, and provide additional income from timber or fruit.
