Reference field
Our reference field is organically farmed in the classical sense in order to better understand and record the influence of the different forms of landuse, both scientifically and economically.
Agroforestry
Planting strips of trees and shrubs on agricultural land leads to the creation of agroecosystems that that are based on the natural occurence of trees and shrubs in the landscape. The agroforestry systems follow the principles of syntropic agriculture and are integrated into arable farming practices.

Multifunctional regenerative eco-farming
On the arable land studied, organic farming methods are implemented in combination with additional measures that promote humus formation. These include the cultivation of cover crops and undersown crops, flower strips, no-till farming, cattle grazing and seed dressing with compost extract produced by the farm.
Holistically managed suckler cow husbandry
More than 150 cattle are integrated into the crop rotation through holistic grazing management and as an integral part of the ecosystem. This is characterized by the fact that the cattle are kept outside all year round and eat, wherever possible, grasses and legumes that grow all year round. Depending on the season, the cattle is moved onto plots with fresh growth up to 5 times a day.
