Norfolk Rotation
Definition: Norfolk rotation
Norfolk rotation: a system for farming, using arable farming for fodder crops, and involving the temporary sowing of grass and clover. The Norfolk rotation system, introduced in the early 18th century, provided a well-balanced method for building up and maintaining soil fertility, controlling weeds and pests, and providing continuous employment and profitability. Farmers can benefit from adopting the principles of the Norfolk rotation to enhance soil health, reduce dependency on chemical inputs, and promote sustainable farming practices. Implementing crop rotation systems supports long-term productivity and environmental stewardship.
