Challenges of modern agriculture
Modern agriculture faces serious challenges. Droughts, soil erosion, rising fuel costs and increasing machinery wear are forcing farms to look for new solutions. More and more farmers are asking: is it possible to maintain high yields while giving up intensive ploughing – the most “resource-hungry” agricultural operation? The answer is: yes. The whole secret lies in changing the approach to the land – in other words, the philosophy of cultivation.
What will you learn from this e-book?
Reduced tillage and no till farming make it possible to protect the soil, cut costs and build crop resilience to changing conditions. You are holding the last e-book in the Rolmako series “From soil to yield”. In this publication you will find:
Arguments in favour of limiting ploughing,
An overview of modern cultivation methods (ultra-shallow, reduced tillage, strip-till, zero-till),
- The pillars of sustainable and regenerative agriculture,
- The benefits of reduced tillage systems on a micro scale (the farm) and a macro scale (the ecosystem).
