Sander Fleerakkers from Proefstation voor de Groenteteelt, a key partner of SoildiverAgro, delivered a training session to 58 regional growers, on December 4th in Belgium. The focus of the session was on cover crops and their interaction with soil life, providing valuable insights into the role of cover crops in enhancing soil health.
During the training, key results from SoildiverAgro’s ongoing research were shared, highlighting the significant impact of cover crops on soil ecosystems and biodiversity. These findings further demonstrate the importance of incorporating sustainable farming practices for long-term soil health and productivity.
Although the event was a closed session and not open to the public, it served as an excellent opportunity to engage directly with local growers and share the latest scientific research to foster more sustainable agricultural practices. SoildiverAgro remains dedicated to supporting growers and the agricultural community through the dissemination of research and insights aimed at improving soil health and promoting sustainable farming techniques.
