Ecological Farming

Ecological farming practices focus on sustainability and environmental conservation while ensuring high-quality macadamia production. Key principles include:

• Agroforestry: Integrating macadamia trees with other crops and vegetation to enhance biodiversity and soil health.
• Organic Fertilization: Using compost, manure, and biofertilizers to maintain soil fertility naturally.
• Water Conservation: Implementing rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation to optimize water use.
• Natural Pest Control: Encouraging beneficial insects and using organic pesticides to reduce chemical dependency.
• Soil Health Management: Practicing cover cropping and minimal tillage to prevent soil erosion and enhance microbial activity.
