Summary

In the video, Eero Liikkanen from Finland explains which minimum tillage practices he uses on their farm and how they implement them depending on different crops, weed pressure and weather conditions.

EPrint Type:	Practice tool
Teaser:	Using minimum tillage for environmental benefits.
What problem does the tool address?:	The EU aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. In the agricultural sector, the EU sees organic farming in a key role to achieve this goal, as it promotes practices that support climate change mitigation with additional co-benefits for the environment. Conventional intensive tillage can lead to soil degradation, loss of soil structure, reduced humus content, and negative climate impacts. However, transitioning to reduced tillage systems presents uncertainties.
What solution does the tool offer?:	The OrganicClimateNET Project acts as a model for the European organic sector to enable farmers to integrate climate farming, thereby enhancing their capacity to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Amongst others, minimum tillage practices are dealt with. This tool offers insights from an organic farm in Finland, a pioneer in the green transition for a greener future.
