“balanced ecosystem for a sustainable future”

Organic farming prioritises taking good care of the soil. This is achieved through extensive crop rotation and the use of animal and green manure and compost.

Furthermore, organic growers do not use crop protection chemicals or artificial fertiliser. Organic agriculture aims to ensure a balanced ecosystem to reduce the risk of diseases and plagues. That includes opting for more resistant varieties.

You will often see organic crops surrounded by wildflower borders or hedgerows that are intended to attract birds and natural insect predators to help combat pests such as caterpillars and aphids.
