3-step approach can be used to restore soil biology
At INORA, we passionately embrace and advocate for organic farming – a practice that not only aligns with our commitment to sustainability but also responds to the growing demand for organic and non-GMO foods. We offer comprehensive services encompassing the transition from conventional to organic farming, soil and water analytical services, organic crop management, on-farm organic inputs, and organic system certification. Guided by our knowledgeable team, we aim to empower farmers with the resources, training, and support necessary to adopt and excel in organic farming, thereby paving the way for a healthier and more sustainable future.
Five-Step Guided Journey
Helping Farmers to Find a Better Way …
Diminishing Soil Fertility
The UN acknowledges intensive agriculture has led to a decline in soil fertility & productivity. The excessive use of fertilizers & erosion from wind & rain, have degraded soils, reducing yields & threatening food security—with only 60 years of topsoil left.
The Soil-ution
With a restored soil food web in place, plants can control the nutrient cycling happening in their root zones, accessing the minerals that are stored in organic matter and in the parent material. Plants get a constant flow of nutrients that they control.
Watch the animation on nutrient cycling for more info.
Diseases, Pests & Weeds
Farmers are constantly having to battle against increasing pressure from pests, diseases and weeds. These reduce yields and increase costs.
Problem Solved
The soil food web provides protection against pests and diseases and also inhibits the growth of weeds.
For more information watch the animations on suppressing pests and diseases, as well as weed suppression.
Declining Profits
Farmers are spending more and more time and money on the application of fertilizers and chemicals, whilst productivity is diminishing.
How We Can Help
When the soil food web is restored, farmers no longer need to apply chemicals as ecosystem functions are restored. Reduced irrigation and plowing requirements also result in cost savings.
