Dutch organic pasture realizes natural circulation. Does organic pasture have broad prospects?

After crossing the green pasture and meeting the old mill, along the country road, the reporter came to Heine Dongcheng Farm on the outskirts of Amsterdam. This is a famous organic farm. Wilma, the farmer's wife Deng? Wilma den hatog pointed to the 23-hectare ranch behind the yard and told reporters that that is the real home of cows.

There are about 5 organic dairy farms in the Netherlands. Achieving organic standards means that grazing must be used to ensure that cows have enough room to move and pure natural feed. Hain Dongcheng Farm follows this natural feeding method. Every year from March in beginning of spring, cows go to pasture for more than 8 months. Wilma said that in addition to 7 hectares of private land, they also rented 16 hectares of nature reserves from the Dutch natural heritage protection organization, assuming the maintenance obligation and obtaining the right to graze here.

Natural grazing ensures that dairy farms are self-sufficient in feed demand, and the pasture itself must be organic. Soil fertility determines the growth of grass. The core of organic pasture management is to improve soil fertility with organic fertilizer. If you don't use pesticides or chemical fertilizers and eat organic food, the milk you produce will be safe and delicious. Wilma said that although chemical fertilizers can greatly increase the yield, they will also lead to soil eutrophication and reduce soil fertility.

Heng Ke Denhatog, a farmer, said that organic fertilizer contains all kinds of nutrients needed by plants, and its formation is a natural process. High-quality organic fertilizer can be produced by mixing forage harvested in grassland, useless vegetables in garden and livestock manure and naturally fermenting in closed composting area for 6 months. When they return to pasture, they can stimulate soil biological activity and provide various elements for pasture growth. Heng Ke told reporters that in the early 199s, he began to switch to organic fertilizers. Due to the long-term application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the growth of grass is not ideal in the early stage of applying organic fertilizer. However, after three years of patient cultivation, soil fertility gradually recovered, which can better lock water, make pasture more drought-resistant, and greatly improve the quality and yield of pasture. Since then, he gradually turned to organic animal husbandry, and completed the transformation in 21.
