The Solidary Agriculture “Feldkultur” in Schabsburg is completely supported by the members and supplies 100 households with Bioland vegetables all year round. The farm is located in the Rheinhessen wine-growing region south of Mainz, the climate is characterized by hot, dry and long summers. The cultivation is mainly done by hand on permanent beds. From the very beginning, regenerative, soil-building practices have played a major role: from staggered cultivation to mulching, green manure and underseeding or byseeding. Our focus is on the connection between the soil microbiome and plant health, as well as on improving the water-holding capacity of the landscape. Next year, an agroforestry system will be integrated into the nursery to naturally improve the photosynthesis performance, water infiltration and microclimate of the area and generate biomass to feed soil life.
