For many years, the organic farm Biohof Rietzler in Bavaria (Southern Germany) has been growing its products (ancient grains such as emmer, einkorn and spelt, as well as potatoes) in a vegan way. They are convinced that fertilisation has a decisive impact on the quality and digestibility of each meal prepared with these ingredients.
For this reason, they apply various plant-based fertilisation practices such as catch crops (e. g. clover grass), and the so-called cut and carry method (transfer mulch) with the farm’s own green mass. In this way, the farm ensures the natural supply of nutrients to its crops.
