Biodiversity
Cover crops
Cover crops play a crucial role in
protecting the soil against erosion,
mitigating climate impact and
facilitating water infiltration.
Living soils

It all starts with good soil health
and structure, which are key for
enabling plants to access the
necessary nutrients and water,
especially during periods of
drought.
Increased biodiversity on farms
yields various benefits such as
reduced need for pesticides,
enhanced pollination and more
variety instead in traditional
agricultural landscapes.
Water
Water is vital for the growth and
development of our crops.
We aim to enhance water use
efficiency by evaluating the crops’
water requirements and optimising
water usage based on data
collection.
Plant nutrition
Regular soil analyses can help steer
optimal fertilisation, preventing
unnecessary nutrient supply while
optimising plant growth.
