Since 2022 we are building on ca. 30 hectars the plantation PermaGuinée. It will be a model-plantation where we will offer trainings to farmers from area and beyond.
The objective is a resilient agriculture, which is adapted to the new challenges posed by climate change - and this via simple but fine-tuned working technics and measures, which do not need external input.
It is the manner by which soil quality will be improved, irrigation organised and, more generally, the way to arrange the habitat of plants and animals, which will allow to grow strong and resilient plants and animals.
This kind of ecological agriculture is inspired by the approach of permaculture. It integrates vegetable and fruit cultivation and animal husbandry.
For the moment, we have established four fields. We concentrate on one field for our experimentations, while we use the other three for production and the rotation of the cultures.
In the valley, we can cultivate only in some parts. On the slopes between the fields and the valley we plant the extensive part of our fruit trees.
At the right side is the part of the plantation, which we use as pasture for the cattle and sheep.
