Edaphos offers professional and practical agronomy consultancy services that are far more than just the industries ‘traditional’ agronomy package. At Edaphos we believe it is vastly important to include soil fertility and nutritional consultancy, aid with stewardship schemes, and specialised soil and tissue analysis. It is of the utmost importance to us that our Edaphos agronomists provide an all-round perspective on differing agricultural systems. Being able to understand the limitations and connections between each of these allows our agronomists to connect with the whole ecological pattern, which is vastly important in creating and maintaining more sustainable agriculture.
Education sits at the core of Edaphos. We believe that investing knowledge into our clients helps build a strong relationship that can continually grow as ideas evolve. A famous quote by Nelson Mandela reads, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” We want to help you to achieve your goals and at Edaphos we are certain that education is key.
Edaphos believe that it is all about microbes cycling organic material. You can put carbon into the system and microbes will digest, recycle, and rebuild it into humus. In this digesting/recycling process, microbes are releasing compounds and nutrients that actually help feed the crop.
Stewardship schemes provide peace of mind with paperwork – help with BPS, NVZ, annual claim forms, derogations etc as well as help with grant applications, such as LEADER and Countryside Productivity Fund. These pots of funding can be worth up to 40% of the total cost of equipment so are worth considering if the farm is thinking of moving towards a precision farming approach for example.
Edaphos offer a range of soil and tissue tests and analysis ranging from standard audits to highly detailed soil bacteria and fungal analysis packages. These provide a wealth of information so we can create a process to manage and restore biological and nutritional balance.
