Our Impact
Our NEW Crunch Corn is grown using regenerative practices and principles. We believe it offers answers to many environmental problems from soil health, to water security.
What is regeneratively farmed corn?
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic farming approach that focuses on restoring soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and improving ecosystem resilience. It replenishes resources rather than depletes them, increasing the land's resilience and productivity over time.
For us, this means following these key regenerative principles:
1. Cover cropping: Cover crops are plants that cover and improve the soil to prevent erosion and enrich the soil, rather than for harvest. By integrating a blended seed mix of legumes and cruciferous vegetables in most areas plus mustard and peas, and turnips and oats, cover cropping can fix nitrogen and increase soil organic matter.
2. Crop rotation: Crop rotation is a practice built into the annual planting processes to change the types of crops grown in a specific area or field to enhance nutrient cycling.
3. Reduced tillage: Practices to reduce tillage help to improve the soil and minimise erosion. This helps to preserve organic matter and soil structure, benefitting the soil quality and microbial content.
4. Reduced organic inputs: Regenerative practices use fewer synthetic chemicals (such as insecticides and fertilisers) by depending on natural processes, which keeps ecosystems healthier and waterways cleaner. Using compost on the soil instead, for example, helps to increase soil organic matter and water retention.
5. Soil quality and biodiversity monitoring: Testing protocols including testing: soil carbon levels, (Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) Content), soil organic matter, soil moisture levels, and biodiversity monitoring.
