Expanding wild grasslands: a cost-effective success story

We have implemented measures to expand wild grassland areas with the aim of reducing costs. This progress has involved two years of dedicated efforts to identify optimal locations for cultivating wild grass. Fortunately, most of these areas were previously unused, making it a natural choice to allow wild grass to flourish.

Previously, the wild grassland area spanned 2 hectares, but through our efforts, it has now increased to 7 hectares. As a result of this expansion, we have achieved significant benefits. Our labour hours have been reduced by 7.5 hours per week, and we are now saving 60 liters of fuel on a weekly basis. Additionally, the initiative has contributed to a reduction in CO2 emissions, reflecting our commitment to taking climate action.
