Holistic Resource Management & No Kill Cropping

By Bruce Maynard Holistic Management- a breakthrough. There is now no doubt that the advent of Holistic style approaches as described and championed by Alan Savory has revolutionised sections of the grazing industry world wide. The lack of industry-wide take-up is also proof of the sophisticated understanding and ethics required to adequately implement the techniques. It is from a basis of understanding of the principles of holism as described by Savory that No Kill Cropping can be contemplated. In the following pages we will examine No Kill as it relates directly to the conditions that Savory put forward as ideal future cropping practices in his landmark text.

As with all the tools at our human disposal it can be understood well or poorly and also applied either well or poorly. “Keep Soil Covered Throughout The Year” Google Traduction. Pasture Cropping. Pasture Cropping A land management technique Pasture cropping is a zero tilling technique of sowing annual cereal crops into living perennial (in this case, usually Australian native perennial plants) pastures and having these crops grow symbiotically with the existing pastures with real and advantageous benefits for both the pasture and the crops.

Pasture Cropping

This idea was initiated over 15 years ago and since that time Colin Seis, on his Winona property, has spent much of his time perfecting this technique and now also conducts workshops educating other landholders on the methodology. This development of the pasture cropping system over the years has led many different types of winter and summer growing crops being grown without destroying the perennial pasture base. It may appear that pasture cropping is simply a cropping technique. From a farm economic point of view the potential for good profit is excellent because the cost of growing crops in this manner is a fraction of conventional cropping. Google Traduction.

Portrait : Allan Savory

En creu­sant des bais­sières se­lon les courbes de ni­veaux, en plan­tant des arbres fixa­teurs d’azote, en pro­té­geant le sol sous un épais paillage de ma­tière or­ga­nique, il piège les pluies er­ra­tiques dans le sol et fa­brique des oa­sis en quelques années. Geoff law­ton conclut son film avec une maxime : “on peut ré­soudre tous les pro­blèmes de la Terre dans un jardin”. Oui mais il y a un pro­blème : on ne peut pas trans­for­mer toute la Terre en jar­din. Cela pose un pro­blème pour les éco­sys­tèmes de prai­rie : quand on les laisse en ja­chère en les pro­té­geant contre le pâ­tu­rage et l’exploitation agri­cole, les grandes prai­ries de la Terre ne se re­cons­ti­tuent pas.
