Cover Cropping

StarStarStarStar

Planting crops that cover the soil and protect it from erosion caused by wind and water, helping to maintain soil health and fertility, and to prevent soil water evaporation.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

StarStarStarStar

Combining biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks, adapting to climate change by promoting a balanced ecosystem.

StarStarStarStar

Rotational Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Moving livestock between pastures to allow for vegetation regrowth, prevent overgrazing, and reduce the carbon footprint of livestock farming by enhancing soil carbon sequestration.

StarStarStarStar

Crop Diversification

StarStarStarStar

Growing a variety of crops to increase resilience to climate change, ensuring that if one crop fails due to extreme weather conditions, others may survive. This broadens income sources and reduces risk.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Conservation Techniques

StarStarStarStar

Practices such as no-till farming, contour plowing, and use of organic matter that prevent soil degradation, enhance water retention, and build a resilient soil microbiome.

StarStarStarStar

Companion Planting

StarStarStarStar

Growing different plants together that benefit each other through pest control, pollination, providing habitat for beneficial organisms, thus reducing the need for chemical inputs.

StarStarStarStar

Water Harvesting and Management

StarStarStarStar

Strategies to collect and store rainwater and manage irrigation efficiently to counteract climate-induced water scarcity. The improved water availability supports crops during dry periods.

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Integrating trees into farming systems which can provide shade, act as windbreaks and improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, thus enhancing resilience to changing climate patterns.
