Constructive agriculture is a system of principles and farming practices that gives the highest priority to building soil fertility and producing healthy and nutritious food. It considers natural systems in their wholeness and complexity. Its practices are done in cooperation with nature. Furthermore, it empowers farmers to resume independent observations and analyses, thus enabling the experience of self-efficacy.
Constructive agriculture ...
- improves soil fertility
- increases biodiversity in local ecosystems,
- positively influences the microclimate and thus leads to improved growing conditions,
- and thus enables better and more stable harvests.
- In addition, it creates aesthetic and valuable cultural landscapes again through small-scale, diverse and species-rich structures.
