Sustainability at Creta Maris

Organic Regenerative Agriculture involves a set of practices aimed at enhancing biodiversity, enriching soils, and improving watershed health. This approach seeks to sequester carbon in the soil, increase crop yields, promote resilience to climate variation, and enhance the health and vitality of farming communities. 

Key principles of Organic Regenerative Agriculture include: 

- Minimizing soil disturbance 

- Implementing crop rotation to maximize field biodiversity 

- Establishing ground cover for natural protection 

- Keeping soil ecosystems active throughout the year 

- Integrating livestock into crop production where feasible
