Soil Humus Management for Sustainable Agriculture

Restoring soil fertility through biology-based practices: minimum tillage, cover cropping, humus compost, biochar, and compost tea. Enhances soil structure, water retention, and nutrient cycling while reducing reliance on chemicals. Supports biodiversity with bee pastures and tree lines. Initial costs 20–30% higher, but savings of 30–50% in later years. Yields stable within 3–5 years, with improved nutritional quality. Boosts resilience to extreme weather.
