Crops on Ecological Farm in Bulgaria
Paul Alfrey has been experimenting with permaculture for almost 10 years now. He started an experiment to learn how the polyculture approach to cultivating crops compares to conventional methods, specifically in terms of time and energy expenditure, the yields harvested and associated biodiversity. Surprisingly, little data exists for polycultures and Paul hopes that the conclusions from the project will be used to replicate similar ecological practices on a larger scale. What Paul wishes to demonstrate is that small scale biologically cultivated polyculture gardens are a practical, accessible and realistic way of providing food for humans whilst preserving and promoting biological diversity in the environment.
Greenpeace documented ecological farming practices in preparation for a farmers’ platform showcasing different examples of ecological agriculture.
