What is small-scale organic intensive market gardening?
Market gardening in a small space
Small-scale market gardening: unlike large-scale market gardening, intensive organic market gardening, also known as small-scale market gardening, concentrates production in areas of 4 to 8,000m2. It resembles a large vegetable garden, but with an economic vision and profitability that are an integral part of the system.
A company on a human scale
A business on a human scale: Because of its size, a bio-intensive vegetable farm is easy to manage. For a surface area of 8,000m2, there are 4 to 5 people, which creates jobs and enables simple management by a crop manager. The reduced space also offers a clear view of all the crops, enabling rapid intervention if necessary.
Diversified vegetable production: with an average of 45 different vegetables, and over 120 varieties, organic-intensive market gardening is also characterized by this great diversity of production. This enables us to offer a wide range of produce throughout the season, and to provide a diversified market stall. This diversity is also a guarantee of security against the vagaries of climate, insects or disease, unlike modern agriculture, which is often based on monoculture or mono-breeding.
