The organic agriculture consists in reaching the highest yields of natural resources (soil, water, light and space) using only environment friendly solutions.

Crop rotation: Alternate the crop families and use natural fertilizers to maintain the fertility of the soil and avoid problems linked to the use of chemicals.

Crop associations: Plant two or more different species in the same field (e.g. Vegetables and grains).

Surrounding hedges: Hedges on the sides of a field provide a shelter and a source of food to beneficial insects and better water retention and wind protection.

Plant covers: Grass has a positive impact on the recycling of nutritive elements, improves soil structure, and increases microbiological activity and the level of vegetal compounds in the soil. Recommended for woody crops.

Integration of livestock: Animals are playing an important role in agricultural systems, producing manure and sustaining the nutrient cycles.

Fertilization: the norm on organic agriculture establishes that fertility as well as biological activity of the soil will have to remain the same or rise. The appropriate ways to fertilize are: growing leguminous plants, leaving the organic waste of deep roots cereals after harvesting (with crop rotation) and/or incorporating organic waste from other organic farms. Only fermented compost should be used to respect the level of microorganisms and vegetal materials.
