How Can Biological Farming Help Me?

Biological farming should not be confused with organic farming. Biological farming is the use of biological practices to cultivate the healthiest possible soil that results in the healthiest possible crops, whether they are grown conventionally or organically. Biological farming makes use of a broad range of plant extracts, microbials, insects and other agricultural biological materials. Biological farming practices are non-toxic to the soil and to farmworkers, while also being more efficient and productive than just synthetic inputs.

Notably, agricultural biologicals can also replace synthetic or chemical plant protection products like chemical pesticides, fungicides or insecticides. They can be less expensive while providing an effective option to mitigate pest and disease pressure.

Expanding Global Application

The global agricultural biological market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.9% during the forecast period 2019-2027, reaching over $21 billion by 2027. The increase in adoption of natural products over synthetic products is driving the growth of the agricultural biological market. Their low environmental impacts and lower manufacturing costs are expected to continue to drive the growth of the agricultural biological market.

Biological farming is a win-win approach that makes farms more sustainable for future generations. In this upcoming season, the biological approach might be the answer to help reduce costs, improve yields and quality, and deliver a better ROI. Andaman Ag has tried and tested biological products to help you get there.

Wherefore Art Thou Carbon?

There is lots of talk these days about carbon and how to manage it, especially when it comes to carbon in our atmosphere. Over the centuries, humans have expanded their carbon emissions as societies have advanced, resulting in more carbon in the atmosphere which leads to climate change.

Supporting Plant Adaptation

It’s important to think about plants as being incredibly adroit at adapting to changing conditions and consider how we can best support them as they try to function efficiently.

Helping Plants Sequester Carbon

The definition of regenerative agricultural practices is evolving. In the beginning, my definition was simple: engage in agricultural practices that work to maximize carbon sequestration in your soils and do it in a manner that minimizes your carbon footprint. Recently, I read a definition of regenerative agriculture as a “toolkit of principles/practices to restore and preserve biodiversity and soil health by creating a functional ecosystem that reduces external inputs while producing nourishing farm products.” This definition begins to consider how carbon is cycling through the system, emphasizing supporting microbial activity and nutrient cycling. All good in my thinking, but how do we get there?
