Students can investigate other integrated solutions such as: composting, crop rotation, and farm co-ops. Students gain valuable skills in nutrient management, crop rotation, plant propagation, and data analysis, which apply to careers in horticulture, agricultural science, engineering, and environmental science.

Biointensive no-till farming systems endeavor to maximize on-farm biodiversity, minimize disturbance, maximize crop density, and sequester soil carbon. In the field, these principles can be implemented through practices such as intensive crop rotations, polycultures, maintaining continuous ground cover, and applying compost.

Adding a cover crop adds a new inflow, and it’s more likely that a portion of that carbon will stay in the soil if that cover crop is not harvested. Adding a perennial to the crop rotation can also drive a large increase in photosynthesis. Because they have reduced the outflow and increased the inflow of carbon.

A small sheep herd that was on the property from when her parents farmed the land was integrated into organic crop rotation. In addition to organic practices including composting and perennial cover crops, he added a silvopasture for his grass-fed cattle. In 2014, she and Rafkin started transitioning to organic.

On the Mad Farm, this is enacted through compost and especially the cover crops that occupy space on the gardens each season. I rely on these crops, idealistically to bolster hope, and practically to provide most if not all the fertility my garden crops need to live fully and produce quality fruits.

By ‘lack of humus’ he is referring to the increasing trend, even then, to dispense with returning organic matter to the soil, for example, in the form of composted farmyard manure, that was made possible by the development of synthetic fertilisers. .” By ‘short-circuit’ feeding, he means the use of artificial fertilisers.
