🌍 Organic farming builds resilient soils 🌱

Organic farming systems support the development of a diverse and functional soil microbiome, which plays a key role in long-term soil fertility, crop resilience and sustainable production.

🌿 Increased microbial diversity in soil contributes to:

✔️ improved nutrient cycling

✔️ stronger soil structure

✔️ greater resistance to environmental and biological stress

♻️ Organic agriculture goes beyond reducing chemical inputs. It creates conditions where soil functions as a living ecosystem, supporting productivity while aligning with sustainability and climate-smart farming goals.

🌱 Healthy soils are the foundation of sustainable agriculture.
