Could #pesticide-free agriculture be profitable and boosts yields?
According to a 10-year study in France pesticide-free #arablefarming is not only possible in France, but also productive, technically and economically viable.

Pesticide-free agriculture is profitable and boosts yields, a new French study shows

While the environmental and health harm of pesticides are well-known, many people ask: Can agriculture thrive without them? The answer, backed by a groundbreaking 10-year study in France, is a resounding YES. And the benefits extend far beyond mere feasibility. Although pesticide-free systems yields were often below those of conventional farming, some reached equivalent levels or even exceeded them. Moreover, estimated income was twice, three times or more the French national minimum wage in 80% of the monitored arable land.

Blühendes Rapsfeld, fotografiert am 18. Mai, am #Heiligenberg bei #Felsberg - #Gensungen.
Was will uns der Künstler (Landwirt) damit sagen?

Reifer Raps, bei #Gudensberg - #Obervorschütz, fotografiert am 13. Juli.
Der Blick richtet sich in den westlichen #Chattengau.

Geöffnete Rapsschote.
Bei reifem Raps, können sich bei starkem Regen oder Hagel die Schoten von selbst öffnen und es entstehen Ernteverluste. Wer zu spät kommt, den bestraft das Leben.
