Regenerative practices to achieve more fertile soil and pastures with greater plant biodiversity

Thursday, October 10, 2013 - 07:00 in Earth & Climate

To obtain healthier, more fertile pastures with greater plant biodiversity is the aim of the LIFE Regen Farming project, led by Neiker-Tecnalia, the Basque Institute of Agricultural Research and Development. The aim of the initiative is to identify, demonstrate and transfer best practices in pasture management and propose that stockbreeders and farmers adopt regenerative agriculture techniques that will allow the soil to be managed more effectively and more sustainably. For this project, Neiker-Tecnalia's partners are the Navarrese Institute of Food Technologies and Infrastructures (INTIA) and the Municipal Public Corporation of Orduña Town Council (Urdeñuderra S.L.). The research has been chosen as part of the European Commission's LIFE+ programme.
