What actions has Healthy Grown® taken for ecosystem management?
A full-time restoration ecologist works to aid farmers in the desire to manage the whole farm – not just cropland. Growers’ grasslands, woodlands, adjacent lands, and natural vegetative history of the area is used to generate an individualized plan for each Healthy Grown® farm. Over 800 hours of work has been invested in ecosystem management. Each year hundreds of acres of farmland undergo a restoration process.
