CT2 Ecology & Regenerative Conservation Practices
Understanding ecology is key to nature conservation and agriculture. In this track students learn about ecology and how to restore natural ecosystems, how to include nature belts in agricultural fields, and how to use the principles of nature conservation, etc. To farm in the future, farmers will need to use nature belts and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to farm — IPM will need to be ubiquitous very soon. This track also includes lessons on how to use the grazing habits of domestic animals to improve the ecological functions of pastures, grasslands, savannahs and agroforestry systems — including grazing cattle in big 5 territory!
