How flowering islands can make fields barrier-free and connect habitats better than conventional flower strips
How flowering islands can make fields barrier-free and connect habitats better than conventional flower strips Freising. Flower strips at the edge of fields make sense and have long been a familiar sight. But just a few meters beyond that, the habitat for butterflies and wild bees often ends again. In many places, the distances to the next oasis are too great when a "treated" field represents an insurmountable barrier. In addition to flowering strips and natural habitats, flowering islands in the middle of fields therefore represent a small revolution in modern arable farming. This is because they break through the usual structures directly in the field. Using the innovative and biodiverse field advertising of ERDINGER WEISSBRÄU in the north of Munich as an example, we explain the principle of logo cultivation with native flowers in the middle of conventional cultivation and compare the habitat for insects with a "normal flowering strip". The field selected for the huge ground picture is located to the west of Achering (Freising) and is perfectly visible on approach. But flowering islands in the form of...
Largest sports branding in the world sown on 50 hectares of field at Berlin Airport
Largest sports branding in the world sown on 50 hectares of field at Berlin Airport Just in time for the start of the 2024 European Championships, we from startup GEOXIP have sown what is probably the largest sports branding in the world with millions of flowers on a field directly at Berlin Airport. The dimensions are gigantic. The field covers an area of 490,000 square meters, i.e. around 50 hectares (equivalent to around 70 soccer pitches). The circumference of the field is 2.8 kilometers. If you were to walk around every detail, you would cover almost 5 kilometers. The branding and lettering have a circumference of 4,574 meters. The sown lettering "YOU GOT THIS" is an incredible 600 meters (!) long and each letter is at least 65 meters high. The surface area of a single letter such as the "O" alone is 2,890 square meters, roughly the size of 10 small terraced houses with gardens. Here, however, it provides a habitat for thousands of native field and wild flowers and creates a network in the middle of...
Future value field advertising: sideline for farmers with appreciation
As a farmer, you may be used to working with very tight margins and having to achieve a certain monetary value per hectare with hard work and your own risk. Our start-up GEOXIP now offers you the opportunity to temporarily use your field for sustainable advertising cultivation. This can be for an entire season or for a short period in between. You are also welcome to use your field when it is not being used for cultivation, e.g. in winter. In our GEOXIP online platform, you can simply advertise your fields and your interest in advertising cultivation free of charge. We will then place orders for sustainable advertising cultivation on your fields and can pay you far more than what you earn with normal cultivation. It's not about money for us. Our concept is about fairness, sustainability and change. What you grow in your field is...
