Seed production on the farms uses less chemicals than other agricultural crops The 'coolspot' effectĪs with other types of vegetation, urban meadows lower the ground and air temperature around nearby buildings in our cities in summer thereby creating a more comfortable environment and reducing air conditioning requirements.

An area of 100 m² can store the equivalent of 110 kg of CO 2 greenhouse gases and release oxygen into the air.Sowing is manual, no fertiliser is necessary, less irrigation is required compared to traditional flower beds and no insecticides need to be used, In summary, the biodiversity requirements of Principle 6 require that forest management: Is protecting rare, threatened and endangered species (of birds, plants, reptiles etc.) P6.2 Is protecting the areas in which these species live, feed, and breed (their habitats).P6.Carbon footprintĮuroflor urban meadows contribute to reducing our carbon footprint: They are the ideal complement to traditional floral displays being more natural, practical and economical, in particular by reducing parks maintenance. In addition to plant diversity, the meadow mixtures provide food and shelter to a wide range of fauna (pollinating insects, small mammals, song birds and game).Įuroflor urban meadows already play an integral role in Sustainable landscape maintenance programmes in many towns and cities across Europe.
