DESCRIPTION OF ACTION
The NewRaHa project produces information on the cultivation of catch crops. Catch crops can be used on farms in the Uusimaa region to increase plant cover in cultivated fields and thus to reduce nutrient loading from the fields on waters. A report has been published on the results (in Finnish): Känkänen, Hannu, Ketola, Jarmo & Valkama, Pasi. 2020. Uusia tuloksia kerääjäkasveista: UusiRaHa-hanke.
