It was good to be on Reto Minder's farm with the members of the strategic committee of the Earthworm Foundation's Swiss #LivingSoils Program together with Christina Senn-Jakobsen from Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley, Aude Jarabo (Trichard) from AgroImpact, @Wolfgang Sturny from SWISS NO-TILL Till Lisa Casarico from Union suisse des paysans, Urs Niggli from Institut für Agrarökologie (agroecology.science) ltd. and our team Ivanoé Koog, Piera Waibel, Theresa Jacobs Clara Labaste We took stock of the progress made to date by the program and explored synergies between the various initiatives to seek complementarity. We also saw some very innovative practices like an intercropping of #corn and #sugarbeet. Had never seen that before but seems to be higher yielding than the same crop in monoculture, with interesting synergies between the two plants. bottom line, it's always the same golden rule: #soilcover Sols Vivants Coop Pictet Group @Pictet Group Foundation Christine Sandström Florin AG
