Finca Verde Food Production Plan

Apart from being an agri-food business the Finca Verde Community also needs to provide a variety of food for people living on site and others who may visit the site periodically or in passing.

We also recognise that having a variety of crops growing along side each other also known as intercropping is beneficial to increase biodiversity thus reducing the instances of plagues affecting our main crops (olives, oranges and almonds).

Thus this food production plan seeks to capture and address the following needs:

• a yield that can contribute towards community members and visitors nutritional needs
• building up organic matter in the soil to maximize water retention capacity
• increase biodiversity of plants, insects and animals that help towards decrease effects of plagues / sickness in main crop trees
