Hedgerows do way more than just provide a border between fields. They provide shelter protecting live stock and reducing the impact of wind on crops. They increase the biodiversity of the farm and provide refuges for a range of beneficial insects and other animals that eat pests. In modern agriculture there is often a desire to remove hedgerows to ease the use of machinery and increase scale. Often\u00a0when this has been done farm productivity has actually gone down. You tend to only see hedge rows in Australia on the edges of farms and roadsides.\u00a0We will use hedgerows internally as just one of many strategies to increase productivity in an environmentally friendly way. Particularly by forming them with a range of plants to provide\u00a0bee forage. They are also a metaphor. We want to create a mosaic of farming enterprises.<\/p><\/div>\n
