Not only are insects a vital part of a balanced ecosystem, providing food for other animals and cycling nutrients, they also play an essential role in our global food system.
Bees and other insects drink the sweet nectar of flowers. As they move between flowers, they transfer pollen which fertilises the plant, enabling it produce seeds - these insects are known as `pollinators`. Three quarters of food crops depend on pollinators and without them, we wouldn`t have foods like potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes or coffee.
Did you know that insect pollination is worth a mind-boggling £690 million to UK crops each year?

Jersey cows produce milk that is naturally high in butterfat, which gives it a rich and creamy texture.
Jerseys have a remarkable ability to convert their feed into milk efficiently. They require less overall feed compared to other dairy breeds, which is advantageous in organic farming where feed costs can be higher due to restrictions on the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Calves born in the spring are given the opportunity to experience the lush pastures and favorable weather conditions of the season.
They can benefit from the fresh vegetation, which is an important part of their diet. Organic farmers typically provide ample grazing areas for their livestock, allowing the calves to freely roam and enjoy the natural environment.

The British dung beetle, like other dung beetles around the world, plays an important role in the ecosystem through its feeding and behavioral habits.
Nutrient recycling:
Dung beetles help break down animal waste, such as dung, by feeding on it. They bury dung balls or tunnel beneath it, which aids in the decomposition process. As they consume and process dung, they release nutrients back into the soil, facilitating nutrient cycling and improving soil fertility.
Soil aeration and fertility:
By burying dung, dung beetles create tunnels in the soil, which helps with soil aeration. These tunnels allow air and water to penetrate deeper into the soil, benefiting plant roots and other organisms. Additionally, the dung buried by beetles acts as a source of organic matter, enhancing soil fertility and promoting plant growth.
