Ecological principles
1. Enhance recycling of biomass and optimizing nutrient availability and
balancing nutrient flow.
2. Securing favorable soil conditions for plant growth, particularly by
managing organic matter and enhancing soil biotic activity.
3. Minimizing losses due to flows of solar radiation, air and water by
way of microclimate management, water harvesting and soil
management through increased soil cover.
4. Species and genetic diversification of the agroecosystem in time and
space.
5. Enhance beneficial biological interactions and synergisms among
agrobiodiversity components thus resulting in the promotion of key
ecological processes and services
