Reducing Inputs: An Integrated Approach
Reducing Inputs: An Integrated Approach
A look at practical approaches to reducing external inputs in a mixed arable/livestock system
Tuesday 28 February, 10.30am–2pm
In-person event, Balbirnie Home Farms, Cupar, Fife
Join us at Balbirnie Home Farms in Fife, with farmer Johnnie Balfour, farm manager David Aglen and soil expert Dr Audrey Litterick of Earthcare Technical, where we will explore what a whole-farm, integrated approach looks like, hear about Balbirnie’s journey and how integrating livestock and arable enterprises has improved the whole system.
We will also highlight how practices such as reducing tillage, diversifying rotations and using cover crops have helped build soil fertility, boost biodiversity and increase farm resilience whilst reducing reliance on external inputs.
FREE and open to crofters, farmers and land managers. Booking is required.
