Regenerative Agriculture Practices
20+
years of regenerative agriculture
No-Till Farming
This technology is the cornerstone of our crop production system. It involves sowing seeds directly into the stubble of the previous harvest, without tilling the soil.
No-till farming plays a vital role—not only protecting the soil from erosion, but also enhancing its fertility and productivity. The stubble left on the surface reduces the risk of water and wind erosion while improving rainwater infiltration. Over time, the crop residues decompose and are incorporated into the soil as organic matter. Additionally, no-till farming lowers diesel consumption and reduces the need for agrochemicals.

Crop Rotation
In each one of our facilities, we establish a crop rotation plan taking into account soil properties, topography, climatic conditions, weeds, and pests. This way, we can control the dynamics of each facility, minimizing the need for chemical controls or unscheduled rotations. We have also achieved a greater variety in root systems, which give different types of porosity to the soil.
Cover Crops
Cover Crops are non-target crops planted primarily for agronomic benefits, such as controlling weeds and pests, improving soil water retention and carbon balance, and enhancing soil fertility. These crops help increase environmental biodiversity, contributing to a more agroecological production system.

Precision Agriculture
We use artificial intelligence and GPS technology in agricultural activities, and to collect large volumes of agronomic information. We then use Big Data analysis to evaluate the information and define different productive areas for each field. In this way, we intensively apply the so-called "Agriculture 4.0". For example, this allows us to design a balanced fertilization plan, based on the analysis of each productive soil and its expected yields.
Bio-inputs and Biological Control
As part of our Integrated Adversity Management, bio-inputs allow us to reduce the use of phytosanitary products and improve plant growth. Not only are they biodegradable, but they also contribute to the improvement of soil quality by providing nutrients.
Similar to bio-inputs, biological control leverages living organisms, such as Bt maize, to address crop adversities.
