Many farms are already implementing climate-friendly measures. In this video, we present the example of the Katzhof farm, which has to deal with challenges such as uneven rainfall distribution and extreme weather events. To improve water management, Markus Schwegler has introduced the so-called Keyline design on his farm.
Keyline advisor Katja Degonda (www.ondaka.ch/) summarises the principles of keylines as follows: The slowing down, retention, infiltration and distribution of the water. In addition, the farm combines keylines with agroforestry to diversify food production, support the water cycle and improve the microclimate.
Participants at the demo event expressed great interest in introducing keyline systems on their farms. However, the need to adapt the system to each individual farm was also emphasised. This demo event showcased important developments in climate-friendly agriculture. It also emphasised the importance of sharing practical experience between farmers.
The Swiss Association of Organic Farmers, Bio Suisse, has set itself the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. An important part of achieving this goal is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge within farmer working groups. probio.bioaktuell.ch/ueber-probio
