Basics of soil fertility management
Problem
Soil health is crucial for successful (organic) agriculture, but not sufficiently considered.
Solution
The tool shows up ways to get in touch with the basics of agriculture, namely a good soil.
Description
The brochure highlights the soil fertility from various scientific and farming perspectives. Its aims to supplement practical observations of farmers, to encourage them to reconsider their relation to their soil and to practice a truly sustainable soil culture. The booklet tries to achieve this goal by providing information on soil matter such as important soil organisms and soil characteristics like root density, soil structure and alkalinity and by showing possibilities of how to assess and improve them.
