Commentaires sur la durabilité

The cultivation of legumes improves the formation of humus and supports soil organisms. The soil structure is improved throuh this (better infiltration and water storage). Through the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, less synthetic fertiliser is used, which leads to less nitrate leaching. Legumes are also able to solubilise minerals such as phosphorous and make them available for other plants, and they provide a habitat for insects.
