Growing multiple crop species in the same space at the same time, which mimics the diversity of natural ecosystems.

The biological decomposition of organic materials into a rich soil amendment, which improves soil health and nutrient content.

Using advanced technology, such as GPS and remote sensing, to optimize field-level management regarding crop farming.

Designing agricultural systems that mimic the relationships found in natural ecologies to create sustainable and self-sufficient farms.

Collecting and storing rainwater for irrigation to reduce dependency on external water supplies and minimize water runoff.

Rotating different crops across the same land to maintain soil health, reduce pest build-up, and optimize nutrients usage.

Focuses on maximum yields from the minimum area of land while improving soil health and promoting biodiversity.

Reducing the frequency of tillage or adopting no-till farming to minimize soil disruption, conserving soil moisture and reducing erosion.

Planting crops such as legumes and grasses between main crops to enrich soil and protect it from erosion.

Combines biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools to manage pests in an economically and ecologically sound way.

The practice of incorporating green plant material back into the soil to improve soil structure, organic matter and nutrient levels.

Integrating trees and shrubs with crops and/or livestock to create more diverse, productive, healthy, and sustainable land-use systems.

Using animal waste as fertilizer to add organic matter and nutrients to the soil, which enhances soil structure and fertility.

An agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops.
