Summary in the original language of the document
In this video, FiBL advisors Jeremias Niggli and Daniel Böhler explain the basics of humus management and show where the most important adjustments can be made.
Summary translation
Humus spielt für die Bodenfruchtbarkeit eine zentrale Rolle: er liefert Nährstoffe, verbessert die Bodenstruktur, erhöht die Wasserspeicherfähigkeit des Bodens, schützt den Boden vor Erosion und fördert die Bodenorganismen. Humusreiche Böden ermöglichen nicht nur gute Erträge, sie verbessern auch die Anpassungsfähigkeit der landwirtschaftlichen Kulturen an lange Trockenphasen und intensive Niederschläge, die aufgrund des Klimawandels immer häufiger werden. Das Potenzial zum Humusaufbau wird jedoch nicht überall ausgeschöpft. Dabei lassen sich viele Massnahmen gut in die gängige landwirtschaftliche Praxis integrieren. In diesem Video erläutern die FiBL-Berater Jeremias Niggli und Daniel Böhler die Grundlagen der Humuswirtschaft und zeigen, wo die wichtigsten Stellschrauben liegen.

| Teaser: | Basics and most important parameters for successful humus management. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Humus plays a central role in soil fertility: it provides nutrients, improves soil structure, increases the soil's water retention capacity, protects the soil from erosion and promotes soil organisms. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | Humus-rich soils not only enable good yields, they also improve the adaptability of agricultural crops to long dry periods and intensive rainfall, which are becoming increasingly frequent due to climate change. However, the potential for building up humus is not exploited everywhere. Many measures can be easily integrated into current agricultural practice. |
