Generationenübergreifende nachhaltige Landwirtschaft
Im fruchtbaren Rhônetal vor den Toren Lyons gelegen, ist EARL des Bruyères schon seit vielen Generationen ein Familienbetrieb. Auf 425 Hektar Land, von denen ein Großteil für den Maisanbau genutzt wird, wenden die Landwirte integriertes Pflanzenmanagement an, um Ertrag und Qualität zu maximieren und gleichzeitig die Umweltbelastung zu minimieren.
Digitale Werkzeuge wie Abschnittskontrolle und GPS helfen, die Effektivität der Aussaat, des Düngereinsatzes und des Sprühens im Betrieb zu verbessern. Neben der effizienten Ressourcennutzung bemüht sich der Betrieb auch intensiv um den Umweltschutz, indem er zum Beispiel Blühstreifen und Bienenhotels anlegt, die wertvolle Bestäuber über die Jahreszeiten hinweg nähren und schützen.
