Did you know utilizing more circular practices can reduce:
Synthetic Fertlizers
Runoff
Operation Costs
Circular practices add many benefits including:
- Reduced synthetic fertilizer – through manure application; integration of legumes for nitrogen fixation; rotational stocking for better manure distribution
- Reduced runoff – through better soil composition and structure, and reduction of synthetic fertilizers
- Reduced costs – reduced reliance on off-farm inputs
- • Circular systems better maintain inputs applied while reducing losses due to runoff or erosion
