How can sustainable agriculture be achieved? – A guest commentary by Dr. Theodor Friedrich
Global agriculture is facing key questions: How do we manage our soils so that they remain productive despite climate change? How do we feed the world’s growing population in the long term? How do we counteract species extinction and the decline in pollinator populations and natural pest regulation mechanisms? And how do we farm efficiently despite dwindling freshwater reserves? Dr. Theodor Friedrich discusses solutions to these challenges in his guest commentary.
Advantages of Widespan Controlled Traffic Farming compared to standard CTF
“Changing to a widespan system may seem daunting because it almost certainly involves a complete revision of a farm’s machinery. However, once the change is made, capital investment is likely to be less and operating costs significantly lower.” – Find out from the most renowned researchers on CTF and founders of one of the first gantry’s what potentials the concept of widespan has to offer.
