How it works
Remunerate verified improvements in soil, water or biodiversity without any benefit from a label.
Agricultural management combines soil protection, efficient use of nutrients and water, pest control and biodiversity conservation.
When does it make sense?
- Cultivation, soil, climate and water availability are known
- Practice can be tested on an appropriate scale
- Performance and impacts are measured without shifting problems
How to apply it
- 1
Delimit the measurement and measure the starting position.
- 2
Apply the measure with competent personnel and check for site-specific risks.
- 3
Follow results, maintain the solution and correct unwanted effects.
Potential benefits
Better protected soil and water
Lower reliance on inputs
Increased crop resilience
Limitations and precautions
- The benefit must be verified under the actual conditions of application.
- The advantages vary between crops, seasons and regions.
- Production, water consumption and any transfer of impacts should be monitored.
