February 2, 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM:

Healthy soil, successful farm – Biodiversity as a key to success.

With arable farmer Josef Pfeffer from Lower Austria.

Josef Pfeffer demonstrates why soil biodiversity is the foundation for healthy plants, animals, and people—and how any farm, including conventional pig-fattening operations, can contribute to its preservation. He explains the role of cover crops, why soil biology can offer an economic advantage and why he sees ecology and economics not as opposites, but as complementary. In this session, you will gain practical insights into how small-scale measures can have a major impact on the soil, the climate and the farm itself.
