Project description

This project is part of a mixed-use organic farm that includes grain crops and beef cattle. To diversify activities, one of the new farmers plans to introduce a poultry run and a goat grazing area. This integrated approach supports animal well-being and maximizes land use.

In parallel, hedgerow installations are planned, including a traditional hedgerow-lined path and partitioning of a cereal crop field to recreate the traditional landscape network. These hedgerows and ecological corridors enhance local biodiversity while helping to protect soils from erosion.

Additionally, two windbreak hedges will be planted to shield the cereal crops from strong winds, thus protecting yields.
