Holistic Growing
At Fargro, we define our agronomic approach as 'Holistic Growing.' This method focuses on harnessing and enhancing natural plant processes to grow crops that are healthy, resilient, and productive. In a world where conventional practices rely heavily on chemical inputs, Holistic Growing provides a sustainable alternative that aligns with both environmental stewardship and economic efficiency.
What is Holistic Growing?
Holistic Growing is a method of crop production that integrates natural biological processes to strengthen plants from within. Rather than relying on synthetic chemicals and fertilisers, we support plants by promoting robust root microbiomes, utilising organic materials, and integrating biological pest controls. This approach builds resilience, helping crops thrive even under challenging conditions while minimising ecological impact.
