Flashcards
0/20
Urban Agriculture
Reduces food miles, can improve urban food security, and creates green spaces in urban environments.
Water Resource Management
Ensures water availability for crops, minimizes wastage, and protects water quality.
Soil Testing
Helps diagnose soil health, enables tailored soil amendments, and reduces unnecessary input costs.
Greenhouse Cultivation
Allows for year-round production, higher yields, and can protect crops from adverse weather.
Biodiversity in Agriculture
Enhances ecosystem services, provides genetic diversity for crop resilience, and can improve overall farm health.
Soil Conservation
Prevents soil erosion, maintains soil fertility, and ensures long-term agricultural productivity.
Cover Crops
Improves soil structure, enhances nutrient cycling, suppresses weeds, and can reduce soil erosion.
Sustainable Agriculture
Ensures long-term productivity and profitability, preserving the environment and socio-economic equity.
Land Grading
Improves water distribution and drainage, reducing soil erosion and optimizing land for agricultural use.
Risk Management in Agriculture
Mitigates potential negative impacts on farm income, safeguards against uncertainties, and ensures farm business stability.
Precision Farming
Increases resource use efficiency, reduces waste, and can lead to higher crop yields and profitability.
Crop Rotation
Diversifies plant production, reduces disease and pest cycles, and can improve soil health and fertility.
Agroforestry
Combines agriculture and forestry to create more productive and sustainable land-use systems.
Conservation Tillage
Reduces soil erosion and compaction, can enhance soil quality and water retention.
Buffer Strips
Filters farm runoff, maintains water quality, and can provide wildlife habitat.
Zoning Regulations
Controls land use, prevents incompatible land uses, and promotes orderly growth in rural and urban fringe areas.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Reduces reliance on chemical pesticides, promotes ecological balance, and can reduce production costs.
Organic Farming
Promotes ecological balance, conserves biodiversity, and typically commands higher market prices.
Farm Diversification
Reduces income volatility, builds resilience against market and weather uncertainties, and potentially increases farm income.
Value-Added Agriculture
Increases the value of products, creates additional revenue streams for farmers, and can stimulate rural economies.
