Resource summary
The Benefits of Traditional & Sustainable farming methods
Polycutlure
Crop Rotation
Reduces risk of mineral soil depletion
Interupts pest life cycles
Intercropping
Supports greater species diversity
Reduces likelihood of the establishment of pest populations
Mixed Livestock
A range fodder crops for use
Different grazing demands
Less waste accumulation & waterway contamination
Organic fertiliser
Improves soil crumb structure
Better aeration
Improves decomposition & respiration
Greater drainage
Limits denitrification
Reduces risk of soil erosion
Reduces risk of leaching & eutrophication
Excesses easily available
Replanting & maintaining hedgerows
Decreases risk of soil erosion
Improves biodiversity
Increases intake of CO2
Shelter for predators of pest species
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems
Genetically modified (GM) crops with a degree of pest resistance
Narrow-spectrum, biodegradable pesticides
Inhibits harm to non-target species
Inhibits bioaccumulation
Biological control encouraging natural predation
Crop Rotation
Sterilisation of males in pest species
