Production development
The 4 Returns framework that applies AlVelAl through its agricultural products is a model designed by the international organisation Commonland, which is applied in 3 areas: Natural, Agricultural, Economic.
This is the uncultivated area, where the integral ECOSYSTEMS RESTORATION projects are developed.
An area in which a PRODUCTIVE AGRO-ECOSYSTEM is developed that integrates the production of HEALTHY FOODS in BALANCE with NATURE through regenerative agricultural techniques of soil and landscape.
Urban area where ESSENTIAL SERVICES are generated and VALUE ADDED agricultural products are PROCESSED and MARKETED.
Within 20 years. A long-term vision is essential, as landscape restoration takes up to a generation.
Agriculture has the power to transform the landscape for better or worse. That is why we go one step further than organic farming, using soil and landscape regenerative agriculture techniques that generate benefits for our environment.
Here are some of the techniques you can find on our farms.
Windbreak hedges Vegetation islands and strips Crop diversification Beehives, ponds and insect hotels
Infiltration ditches (Swales) Ponds Contour lines
Ground cover
Compost Mulching Green manures Incorporation of extensive livestock
Our HABITAT AOVE oil is part, through AlVelAl, of an international network of large-scale landscape restoration initiatives with projects all over the world created by COMMONLAND.
In addition, through the platform CROWDFARMINGThe brand connects directly with consumers across Europe who value responsible consumption, eliminating intermediaries and ensuring full traceability from farm to fork.
