What is ecological agriculture 
Ecological agriculture can be defined as a compendium of production techniques that excludes, the use of synthesised chemical agents (chemical fertilizers, plaguicides, antibiotics, etc.). Its objectives are to preserve the environment, maintain or increase the soil fertility and supply all the nutritional necessities of the society.
ECONATUR works in the development of agro-systems which are low dependent on agrochemicals and energy utilization, improving simultaneously the soil fertility, yields and crop health.
EA Basic Premises
- Reduction of the energy consumption for increasing the output/input relation.
- Fertility losses (from overdrainage, soil erosion or overexploitation) decrease by the utilization of cover crops, natural fertilizers, crop rotation, agro-pastoral systems,...
- Promotion of local producers which are adapted to the natural and social environment.
- Maintain the yields but also preserve the natural resources.
- Increase field profitability by promoting flexible and diverse agricultural systems and reducing costs.
EA Advantages
- Healthy and safe food obtaining
- Enhanced food quality.
- Environment protection.
- Water retention increase.
- Not contaminated aquifers.
- Sustainable agricultural system.
- Preservation of natural enemies.
- Enhanced efficiency of the natural resources (soils, fertilizers, water, etc.) use.
