Conservation agriculture

Conservation agriculture regenerates degraded arable land, increases biodiversity, and sequesters carbon, while also producing food!

It is a traditional farming land management method based on the non-tillage of soil, to preserve its structure and microorganisms. It promotes the maintenance of a permanent cover, which retains moisture and prevents erosion. Growing a diversity of plant species, planting companion crops, and using crop rotation together ensure the continuous enrichment of arable land.

Here, we grow:

• Berries

• Aubergine

• Zucchini

• Squash

• Sweet potatoes

• Potatoes

                                                                                                                  

Caring for this agricultural zone will generate work integration hours.

In a few years, one to two tonnes of fresh produce will be grown here. This high terrace dedicated to farming shows how social and environmental impacts are often intertwined.
