The Benefits of Traditional & Sustainable farming methods
  1. Polycutlure
    1. Crop Rotation
      1. Reduces risk of mineral soil depletion
        1. Interupts pest life cycles
        2. Intercropping
          1. Supports greater species diversity
            1. Reduces likelihood of the establishment of pest populations
          2. Mixed Livestock
            1. A range fodder crops for use
              1. Different grazing demands
                1. Less waste accumulation & waterway contamination
                2. Organic fertiliser
                  1. Improves soil crumb structure
                    1. Better aeration
                      1. Improves decomposition & respiration
                      2. Greater drainage
                        1. Limits denitrification
                        2. Reduces risk of soil erosion
                        3. Reduces risk of leaching & eutrophication
                          1. Excesses easily available
                          2. Replanting & maintaining hedgerows
                            1. Decreases risk of soil erosion
                              1. Improves biodiversity
                                1. Increases intake of CO2
                                  1. Shelter for predators of pest species
                                  2. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems
                                    1. Genetically modified (GM) crops with a degree of pest resistance
                                      1. Narrow-spectrum, biodegradable pesticides
                                        1. Inhibits harm to non-target species
                                          1. Inhibits bioaccumulation
                                          2. Biological control encouraging natural predation
                                            1. Crop Rotation
                                              1. Sterilisation of males in pest species
                                              2. Delayed ploughing after harvest
                                                1. Food source for bird species
                                                  1. Reduces soil erosion
