In 2021 we decided to take the step towards organic agriculture in the production of almonds and olive oil. We have decided to go organic out of awareness for the planet and to be able to obtain sustainable products in a way that respects the environment.
We started the jump to organic with the help of the ADV Ecològica de Ponent who are the ones who advise us and encourage us to be part of the projects theay have underway to be able to work and control the entire production process in a more sustainable way.
With them we have set up nest boxes for birds of prey, we have learned to make bio-fertilitzers and we hace started to create our little army of Osmies to better pollinate our almond trees. In this desire to leave a better planet for our children, from Cogul SAT, we have been working for a long time to reduce the use of fossil fuels and avoid CO2 emissions into the atmosphere as much as possible.
Some things we do to achieve all this are:
- To plant vegetable covers, favoring the installation of auxiliary fauna, protect the fields from erosion and contribute to the increase of organic matter in the soil.
- Boost the circular economy with the application of organic manure from sheep and cattle farms in the area.
- Solar pumping to irrigate our lands drop by drop.
The mission of our project is to grow food as sustainable as possible and in this way fill this small corner of the worl where we have born, live and love.
