zerodig - oakbrook
This Zerodig project is part of the Oakbrook Community Farm initiative.
"70% of the global population is fed by small scale farmers. We believe having more small scale farmers would bring massive benefits to the world.
So-called ‘conventional’ farming relies on ploughing (tilling or digging) the soil which releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide and harms the soil over time. We don’t need to do this, there are more sustainable ways of growing our food."
Zerodig is researching and promoting ways of growing food that doesn’t need to plough the earth. Rather than create more greenhouse gases, Zerodig farming actually locks more CO2 into the soil.
