The pressing need for environmental regeneration and the awareness of all to collaborate in it is becoming more and more evident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">That is why we have found it so important to join in spreading the word about this awareness day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Celebrated since July 7, 1963, International Soil Conservation Day coincides with the death, three years earlier, of the American scientist Hugh Hammond Bennett. He was a pioneer in the field of soil conservation in the United States of America and head of the Soil Conservation Service. He managed to change the mindset of farmers toward soil conservation, promoting soil conservation through the use of new techniques and forms of cultivation, which protected the soils and preserved their fertility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Hammond dedicated his entire life to demonstrating that caring for the soil is inextricably linked to its productive capacity. Thus, their work, their example and their achievements are remembered and encouraged to continue conserving and protecting soils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">The objective that Hammond pursued and that is the main purpose of this day, is to make people aware of the fundamental importance of the earth within the fragile environmental balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808000;\"><strong>Ecology and Biodiversity<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Soils are reservoirs of biodiversity. More than 40 percent of living organisms in terrestrial ecosystems are associated with soils during their life cycle. A natural ecosystem integrates fauna and flora and is balanced by their interactions. At Cortijo el Puerto, we integrate agriculture and livestock, we advocate for local and endangered species, promoting biodiversity and environmental regeneration. Regeneration based on the richness of the soil, regenerating its tissues and creating fertility in the land. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10158 size-full\" title=\"Eco tourism environmental awareness Spain Cortijo el Puerto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cortijoelpuerto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Alimentos-Cortijo-el-Puerto-ecologia-biodinamico-e-innovacion-2019-1.jpg\" alt=\"organic healthy food Cortijo el Puerto ecolog\u00eda biodin\u00e1mico e innovaci\u00f3n 2019\" width=\"1400\" height=\"175\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>\u201cWe produce organic by supporting biodiversity and integrate all the elements that exist in nature within the farm, we cultivate awareness\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">With this quote framed in a mosaic of <a style=\"color: #808080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cortijoelpuerto.com\/en\/our-ecosystem\/\">Cortijo el Puerto Farm\u2019s Ecosystem<\/a> we start this post, inviting you to know about the real meaning of biodynamic agriculture for us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9712 size-full\" title=\"Healing the erth: soil conservation Cortijo el Puerto organic biodynamic farm Andalusia Spain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cortijoelpuerto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Redim-Cortijo-el-Puerto-Ecologica-y-Biodinamica.jpg\" alt=\"Healing the erth: soil conservation Cortijo el Puerto organic biodynamic farm Andalusia Spain\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1330\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Certainly, we work with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortijoelpuerto.com\/en\/beyond-ecological-modelling-cortijo-el-puerto-certified-biodynamic-farm\/\">model<\/a> capable of solving major challenges that the agricultural sector is already facing: less rain, soils that are more degraded by abuse and neglect, and a demand for food of higher quality every day as well as sustainable in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12389\" title=\"biodynamic organic farm cortijo el Puerto Lora del R\u00edo, Spain\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cortijoelpuerto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/biodynamisch-Demeter-zertifikat-cortijo-el-puerto.png\" alt=\"biodynamisch Demeter zertifikat cortijo el puerto\" width=\"1008\" height=\"856\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Since our inception, we were aware that our role with nature must be proactive, we have opted for truly organic agriculture and reordering the soil, which has been badly treated.
