We employ cultivation practices like crop rotation to safeguard the soil and replenish essential minerals depleted by continuous farming of the same crops.
We avoid traditional farming practices such as bush burning, which degrade soil composition and deplete essential minerals. By doing so, we preserve soil health, reduce our carbon footprint, and maintain air quality, thereby safeguarding the environment.
We minimize the use of potentially harmful pesticides and fertilizers, closely monitoring soil toxicity to prevent adverse effects on the soil, as well as to protect the diverse animal and plant life within and surrounding it. This approach ensures that we produce crops that are safer for consumers, workers, and neighboring communities.
At Goshen, we employ center pivot irrigation systems for our grain cultivation and drip irrigation for our tree crops to enhance sustainability. These systems efficiently distribute water, minimize wastage, and prevent soil erosion, thereby reducing carbon emissions and promoting long-term environmental stewardship in agriculture.
