Precision Agriculture

StarStarStarStar

Incorporates technology like GPS, satellite imagery, and sensors to monitor crop health and soil conditions, optimizing inputs like water and fertilizer to increase efficiency and reduce waste.

StarStarStarStar

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

StarStarStarStar

Employs a variety of methods such as biological control, habitat manipulation, and resistant varieties to control pests with minimal use of chemicals, reducing environmental impact and encouraging sustainable crop production.

StarStarStarStar

Agroforestry

StarStarStarStar

Integrates trees and shrubs into crop and animal farming systems to benefit from the natural interactions such as enhanced biodiversity, improved soil structure, and additional income from timber or fruit.

StarStarStarStar

Biodynamic Farming

StarStarStarStar

This is a holistic approach similar to organic farming but includes specific compost preparations and planting calendars, aiming to create a self-sustaining ecosystem to improve soil fertility and food quality.

StarStarStarStar

Hydroponic Farming

StarStarStarStar

Plants are grown in nutrient-rich water solutions without soil, allowing for higher yield in smaller areas and controlled conditions, useful for urban settings and reducing water usage.

StarStarStarStar

Pasture-Raised Livestock

StarStarStarStar

Livestock are raised on a pasture where they can graze on natural diets appropriate for their species, leading to improved animal welfare, better quality meat or dairy products, and healthier ecosystems.

StarStarStarStar

Conservation Agriculture

StarStarStarStar

Focuses on three core principles: minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and crop rotations, leading to reduced soil erosion, increased water retention, and carbon sequestration.

StarStarStarStar

Permaculture

StarStarStarStar

Focuses on self-maintained agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems. It emphasizes perennial crops, water conservation, and renewable resources, striving for sustainability and resilience.

StarStarStarStar

Aquaponics

StarStarStarStar

Combines aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (soilless plant farming), cycling fish waste to provide nutrients for plants, which in turn purify water, enhancing sustainability and minimizing waste.

StarStarStarStar

Organic Farming

StarStarStarStar

This method avoids synthetic chemicals, utilizing natural processes and organic inputs to maintain soil fertility and control pests, resulting in sustainability and improved soil health.
