In the spring of 2018, we created beetle banks on our farms in Latvia.

Beetle banks create additional habitats for insects, ground nesting birds and small mammals which increase biodiversity on-farm.

In three years, our beetle bank should be fully developed.

In Argentina we are using different techniques to reduce our herbicide use.

At Rincon Del Perdido farm in Entre Rios, we have begun using a crimper roller in combination with cover crops. The roller strangles the cover crop without cutting it. This technique kills the cover crop, allowing us to plant the next crop in optimum conditions.

On our farms in Peru, we regularly dig pits to monitor water movement in the soil and the development of our plant's root system.

In this video our Adviser Ken G. Cassman is in a soil pit reviewing the root system of our avocado trees at Olmos.

In New Zealand a pack of trusty shepherding dogs is essential on any large scale livestock farm. They can steer a mob of sheep or cattle in any direction you want based on clear whistle instructions.

The main shepherding dog is the New Zealand huntaway dog. Other shepherding dogs that we use are called heading dogs.

The last four years, we have held Open Doors day at our Green Gate farm in Romania. With this initiative we aim to give something back to the local communities and bring the younger generations closer to agriculture.

It has been a great success, and we aim to expand this initiative to our other farms.

Our adviser Ken G. Cassman visited this field in Western Australia after four years. The significant improvement in the soils during these years has brought better yields and quality to the crops.

The enhancement of natural habitats in the farm is a good example on how farming based on the latest science enables Ingleby to combine a deep concern for the environment with higher production.
