Welcome to the Brakelands Farm Website Farmers and whole farm contractors Brakelands Farm is situated near Banbury in Oxfordshire |
Farm Philosophy: Conservation Agriculture. To produce combinable crops with the highest nutritional qualities through sustainable commercial farming. Using sound rotations and cover crops, returning all crop residues (straw) to the soil by means of shallow cultivation, thus building soil organic matter and structure to hold vital nutrients and improve the bio diversity of the soil. |
|
With over 15% of our farm dedicated to wildlife habitat, pollen and nectar sources, conservation agriculture goes hand in hand with our green credentials. Conservation agriculture differs from organic sector by not turning its back on science, or tying itself up in rules and regulations and emotional views but by reducing overall artificial inputs with better soil and plant management.
|
| Organic agriculture can not feed an ever growing population, and will therefore always be a niche market. Conservation agriculture combines the best of all worlds, offering the best opportunity for sustainable food production and a better environment for the future. | Contact us Tel: 01295 780203 Fax: 01295 788212 |
