Field trip: learning in action. Day 3 of the study trip

On Saturday, September 13, the last day of the SoilCarbon4Climate conference, the delegation visited farms around Berlin associated with Germany’s Federal Humus Program, learning about soil management practices and sustainable production systems.

Biohof Klass
An organic Bioland‑certified farm with climate‑positive production, mobile chicken coops, composting and conservation tillage on sandy soils, focusing on the circular economy.

Gut & Bösel
A pioneer in regenerative agriculture, with experience in syntropic forestry: an agroforestry system guided by natural processes. It combines fruit trees, crops and service species in different strata and succession times to produce food sustainably while improving soil fertility, capturing carbon, conserving water and increasing biodiversity. It also integrates the HumusKlimaNetz, a model and demonstration project for humus accumulation and conservation in arable soils, funded by the BMLEH.

Agrargenossenschaft Groß Machnow eG
Part of the HumusKlimaNetz, it stands out for its soil conservation practices, wetland protection and circular economy.

It was a day in the field to observe what had been discussed in the previous congress days, closing this chapter of the SoilCarbon4Climate conference with inspiration.
