Ruggell Organic Farm 7 (Liechtenstein)

Weather…

The organic farm in Ruggell is located in the fertile Rhine Valley at the northernmost point of Liechtenstein, near the Ruggeller Riet nature reserve. Agriculture in this region is characterized by flat topography and alluvial soils of the Rhine, which were made arable after extensive drainage measures in the 20th century. The farm specializes in ecological arable farming and the production of specialty crops, maintaining soil fertility through broad crop rotations and organic fertilization. Particular attention is paid to the networking of ecological compensation areas, which serve as corridors for wildlife and promote biodiversity in the valley area. The proximity to the Rhine requires sensitive water management to minimize the input of nutrients into groundwater aquifers. As a certified organic farm, it makes an important contribution to the sustainable transformation of Liechtenstein's agriculture and the supply of pesticide-free food to the region.
