In the beginning, healthy soil was the focus of organic farming and especially organic farming. Changes in growth factors caused by climate change, but above all fluctuations in weather patterns between years and even within a year, make planned action increasingly impossible. drought has become an issue every year - but the timing cannot be predicted.
increasing soil fertility requires a clear strategy, many farm-specific considerations and input, some of which comes at the expense of short-term returns. A single measure can be part of the solution on a farm. Simply reducing tillage or eliminating it entirely is not wrong.
But soil fertility is influenced by soil biology , soil chemistry and soil physics . The diversity in the measures, the synopsis of soil fertility and economic efficiency, in short, the overall view helps us to actively meet the challenges of climate change.
