In other terms, at Archidamo III, we don’t look at the soil just as a mere good to exploit, but our aim is to conserve and improve its natural fertility, that’s why we use mechanical and natural fertilisation techniques such as green manure. By this agricultural practice, farmers plant specific crops with the intention of burying them during the ploughing phase. During autumn and winter seasons, as the crop sprouts, the soil protects itself from erosion and produces its own nourishment, in fact, in springtime, the grown crop is ploughed and buried; at this point organic materials under the soil starts decomposing and creating humus, important natural fertiliser.
This process, fully mechanical and natural, is diffused among organic farmers all over the world and it makes easy, for anybody, to understand that agricultural world is a circular system

By developing green barriers, we can protect the soil from drying out and organic farming is oriented in this direction by contributing, as far as possible, to safeguarding the existing natural heritage.
