This year, Dutch research project Stikstof Telen (Nitrogen Cultivation), carried out on the Planty Organic’ trial field will come to an end. Funded by Friesland Province and EU funding, it has been studying healthy soil in arable farming in the Netherlands, focusing on an organic farming system based on 100% internal nitrogen input through leguminous crops and green manures.

The project has released some of its main conclusions in a short ‘sneak preview’ report here.
