72% of UK land is managed for agriculture. Almost 15 million acres of UK soils are at risk of degradation costing us an estimated £1.2 [Billion] every year. The UK has lost almost half of its biodiversity since the 1970s… – Regenerative Farmers of UKSoil health is the critical component for today’s smart farmer, particularly in the UK where diverse climates and soil types present both unique challenges and opportunities for those in the business of feeding the world and growing a greener Earth.
Maintaining healthy soil ensures sustainable crop production and supports the overall ecosystem in the UK. Without an understanding of our soil’s health and how to manage it, our arsenal lacks the mental artillery we need to optimise crop yields and maintain long-term soil fertility. Our fight against top-soil degradation across the United Kingdom, and further negative climate impacts, fails without constant data.
It’s why smart farmers have turned to technologies such as soil testing, weather stations and satellite stations for many years. These separate, but powerful, tools provide crucial soil, irrigation and plant data that elicit better farming practices and lead to increased sustainability and profitable agriculture.
