Spanning 20,000 hectares and 200 farms in southwestern Poland, the initiative targets four key crops – rapeseed, wheat, malting barley, and sugar beet. The objectives of this project are to: Enhance soil health: Implement practices that improve soil structure, moisture retention, and nutrient availability, fostering an environment conducive to crop growth. Promote biodiversity: Reintroduce and nurture native plant and animal species, creating symbiotic ecosystems that enhance farm resilience. Increase farmer profitability: Develop farming models that align sustainability with profitability, ensuring economic viability for local farmers.
