Project description
A farmer, focused on environmental stewardship and autonomy, is restructuring his farm into several distinct plots, each designated for specific agricultural activities. Situated in a former permanent pasture adjacent to a forest, this project benefits from the natural interaction between ecosystems.
The main objective is to enhance biodiversity by establishing a food forest that will create a diverse and rich habitat while supporting rotational poultry grazing. This grazing system not only promotes animal health but also naturally fertilizes the soil. Additionally, a pre-orchard will be developed to house sheep, integrating livestock into this agroecological approach.
A coppice hedge will be planted to supply organic matter to the food forest, reinforcing soil structure and carbon storage capacity. This project exemplifies an innovative approach to sustainable agriculture, fostering a balance between farming activities and environmental protection.
