Water
Introduction You don’t have to be an expert in organic farming to realise that water is absolutely essential when it comes to cultivating crops. Climate change, droughts, pollution etc. are threatening this vital resource and the future does not look all that good.
Rainwater ready for use
All our Nature & More growers understand the importance and are very careful to use only what is absolutely necessary. On a more positive note, studies have shown that good organic compost increases the water holding properties of the soil meaning that 100 litres of water goes much on an organic farm compared to its conventional counterpart.
Due to the three huge water basins on the YONA property, the greenhouses are irrigated for 100% with rainwater. The rain is collected from the greenhouses and is subsequently pumped to the basins. From the basins the water is pumped into the greenhouses to irrigate the crop.
