Improving Soil Structure with Strip Tilling and Cover Crops

Farm manager David Thomas shows some of the ways in which Riviera is working to improve soil structure, reducing soil runoff and compaction.
The use of cover cropping and strip tilling are both demonstrated, with benefits for crop health and biodiversity.
Philippa Mansfield, Catchment Sensitive Farming Agricultural Lead describes the catchment scale challenges and benefits of horticultural soil management.
Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) is led by Natural England in partnership with Defra and the Environment Agency. It works with farmers, communities and organisations in catchments across England to improve the quality of air, water and flood management through the Agricultural Transition.
