Pasture cropping is an alternative agricultural practice that combines two farming methods: minimum tillage and perennial grass cover. It positively impacts the environment since there is no reliance on inputs such as synthetic fertilizer and herbicides, and the soil quality is improved with almost zero erosion.
This alternative approach to farming can help us match the yields from conventional farming with a more profitable and environmentally friendly alternative
Key Takeaways:
- Pasture cropping is a production system for obtaining high stock and land productivity, within a farming system using low chemical inputs.
- Practicing pasture cropping could revolutionize small farming around the world and could be the answer for many farmers looking for a cheap alternative in increasing impacts in productivity and profitability.
