Summary in the original language of the document
The Agricology Organic Farming theme webpage offers access to useful resources for helping to understand e.g., soil health, crop rotations and pasture management. Its farmer profiles also offer insights into farmer experiences and motivations for engaging in a wide range of organic food production systems including, livestock, arable, horticulture and mixed systems. Under these systems, a range of issues are in focus including mob grazing, forage production, crop rotations, soil fertility, weed control, water, carbon and pollinators. Agricology regularly add new material. The material is targeted towards organic practitioners but is of value to any farmer wishing to engage with agroecological farming methods and advice on converting to organic in UK can also be found on this page.
