If you consider the popular notion of a “romantic” farm, which should be considered a classic model for a self-sustainable farm, which makes perfect sense, it houses a large number of animal species. And keeping animals really makes sense in many ways too.
First of all, these animals naturally provide all products that benefit people in a variety of ways, or in the case of dogs, cats and workhorses, they provide “services” that are useful to people.
Second, these animals complement each other in a surprising way … Take a fallow piece of land: First we send the goats and donkeys in … The donkey eat the long grass, while the goats take care that young bushes didnt capture the land and kill the brambles.
After them come the chickens, peacocks and ducks. They feed on insects and seeds that nature echoes ready enough. They scrape in the ground and thund and loosen the first layers.
By the way, they all fertilize the land together, creating fertile soil.
Bees fly in swarms, fertilize the fruit trees and vegetables and also provide excellent honey for the tea you pick yourself.
This cycle means a lot of responsibility, but it is definitely worth it.
