Biodiversity and soil health: How caring for one protects the other paid Bayer
It helps plants create nutrients. Healthy soil defends plants from harm. And when properly managed, it can assist farmers in their efforts to help preserve the environment. Soil is the foundation — figuratively and literally — for life as we know it.
Agriculture is finding new ways to partner with the life below, unlocking the secrets of the soil to protect their environment, and ours.By studying the life that already exists in the soil, scientists are discovering how we can help nature protect a farmer’s fields. One of the ways that we do this is through a deeper understanding of biologicals.
“We know that consumers are increasingly interested in how their food is grown and want to know that farming practices are environmentally sustainable,” states Benoit Hartmann, Head of Biologics at Bayer, “Biological products — particularly seed treatments — already play a role in helping farmers reduce their CO2 emissions and can help their crops use fertilizer more efficiently.”
As more farmers adopt practices to protect the soil and the biodiversity within it, they’re realizing these sustainable approaches are good for the farm and the planet.Today digital tools are giving farmers greater access to data, allowing them to grow more efficiently and sustainably. New innovations help farmers use inputs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and water, only where they are needed most. When it comes to soil, this means being able to more accurately care for the land.
