To find and demonstrate ways of better managing the land.
Acidification treatments were applied to improved pastures in an attempt to restore plots to low-intensity grazing land
A mixture of silvopastoral agroforestry approaches, including extensive and rotational cattle grazing around trees, provide benefits for biodiversity as well as leaf fodder for cattle, edible fruits and nuts, and wood fuel.
Use of diverse herbal leys in dairy production. Provides resilient forage that improves soil health and provides a habitat for biodiversity within a rotational grazing system
The addition of organic matter, such as compost, to soils on farms can enhance soil health with benefits for soil organisms, soil structure, carbon sequestration and plant production.
Silvopastoral Agroforestry in a natural farmed environment – This is an alley cropping system with rows of Perry pears and timber trees inter-planted with coppiced willow and alder. The pasture in between the rows is mob grazed with young dairy stock.
Non-inversion and ‘shallow’ ploughing cultivation strategies on an organic farm, where the use of herbicides for weed control is prohibited.
Crop establishment with minimal soil disturbance
Surface cultivation of up to the top 10cm of soil but not complete inversion
Improved soil management based on non-inversion tillage for cost-effective and timely crop establishment.
