Insights from the Perennial Green Manures project: an innovative approach to fertilising cropland
This report by the Perennial Green Manures project shows its experiments with a system of providing nitrogen to crops by use of trees and shrubs grown in 'bioservice areas'. It argues it increases farm resilience by providing shelter and habitats, but also produces nitrogen-rich foliage which is applied to cropland. This could have benefits over fertiliser nitrogen and traditional organic methods in reducing greenhouse gases.
