World Environment Day 🌍
World Environment Day is a time to raise global awareness and inspire action to protect our environment, something ABP is proud to champion every day.
The landscape around us enables our farmers to produce high-quality food, whilst also caring for the environment that supports it. Farmers play a vital role as environmental stewards, and our demonstration farm brings this commitment to life in a practical and meaningful way. 🌱
Over the past few months, we’ve introduced a range of initiatives to enhance biodiversity on farm. These include bioacoustic monitoring trials, and planting over 400 metres of new hedgerows to link existing habitats, creating a biodiversity corridor.
The farm also highlights the value of livestock within a mixed farming system. Grazing animals naturally return organic matter to the soil, improving soil health, boosting plant productivity, and supporting microbial activity. In addition, more than 20 hectares of herbal leys have been established to improve soil structure, encourage nitrogen fixation, and provide a diverse, nutritious forage for our cattle. The farm team is also beginning to explore further opportunities to enhance the ecological health of on-site woodlands and ponds. 🐄
Together, these efforts demonstrate how efficient food production can work hand-in-hand with sustainable and environmentally responsible farming practices.
