At the Farm of the Future, soil structure and soil health are top priorities

At the Dutch Farm of the Future, developed on the Field Crops site of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in Lelystad, the potato plays a leading role. If only because the cropping plan provides twice as much area for potatoes as for the other six crops with which it is alternated. Senior researcher sustainable agriculture Pieter de Wolf shows us what research in this future-oriented project is focusing on. ‘Soil structure and soil health are at the top of the list’, he emphasises.
