All types os agricultures

Agriculture is the main source of income for 80% of the world's poor. The sector therefore plays a key role in reducing poverty, increasing incomes and improving food security BUT AT WHAT COST.....

Types of agriculture and their consequences...

Intensive farming? Water and soil pollution... Intensive production means water and soil pollution. The use of many types of agrochemicals such as chemical pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers, insecticides and other products is considered to be one of the main causes of ecosystem degradation due to intensive farming. Intensive farming, as it has been practised since the 1960s, may produce extraordinary yields, but it also damages the soil and pollutes the environment. To maintain the same yield, the quantities of inputs (water, equipment, pesticides and fertilisers) must always be increased.

Industrial agriculture favours monoculture, which leads to the depletion of biodiversity, the destruction of natural and complex ecosystems, and the disappearance of bees and other pollinating insects on which two-thirds of our crops depend.

Commercial farming: Losses caused by poor crop conservation (pests, rodents and diseases) and a clear lack of infrastructure are reducing the country's production capacity.

Organic farming: This environmentally-friendly production method helps to preserve water quality, maintain soil fertility and develop biodiversity - all major challenges for today's agriculture.

Different in many ways, our organo-mineral fertiliser made from seawater is not THE ONLY SOLUTION, but ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS for more responsible farming that respects biodiversity and guarantees yields that can feed the population.
