Greenpeace’s Food and Farming Vision describes what Ecological Farming means, and how it can be summarised in seven overarching, interdependent principles – based on a growing body of scientific evidence.Įcological Farming combines modern science and innovation with respect for nature and biodiversity. It needs to be replaced urgently for the benefit of all people, and the planet. ![]()
