ORIGEENS supports organic farming, because it respects the environment and protects the water, the soil and the air.
It naturally conserves the fertility of the soil which is based on natural ecosystems and it helps to reduce the development of bacteria which are resistant to antibiotics.
The use of synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizer or products made using chemicals is forbidden.
The use of organic material, natural fertilizers (organic manure, crude potassium salt, crude natural phosphates, chalk, marl or calcium sulphate) is thus used instead.
Crop rotation and recycling crop residues allow a high level of organic matter to be retained in agricultural soils.
Organic matter in soil plays an important role in the ecosystem of the ground.
It helps to nourish the soil’s micro-organisms, to structure the soil, to increase the capacity for water retention, which allows the available soil water content to be increased.
High soil water content allows vegetation to grow.
Agriculture farming aims to find an ecological balance which can be sustained in the long term to reduce soil fertility problems, pollution of groundwater reserves and of air with standard agrochemical products.
