Incorporates eco-friendly practices designed to preserve resources, maintain soil fertility, and reduce pollution. Examples: cover cropping, rotational grazing.

An agricultural system designed to mimic natural ecosystems and create sustainable and self-sufficient habitats. Examples: permaculture gardens, food forest systems.

An environmentally friendly farming practice that avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Examples: organic vegetable farms, free-range poultry farms.

Highly productive farming with a significant labor and capital input per unit of land, aiming for high yields. Examples: greenhouse tomato farming, poultry farming in battery cages.

Integrating trees with crops and/or livestock, balances productivity and sustainability, and can improve soil quality. Examples: silvopasture, alley cropping.

Combines various agricultural activities such as cropping and livestock raising to maximize resource use and minimize waste. Examples: agroforestry, aquaponics.

An advanced form of organic farming that uses natural materials and observes astrological influences on plant growth. Examples: biodynamic vineyards, biodynamic vegetable production.

Focuses on sustainable land management practices, like minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, and crop rotations. Examples: no-till farming, use of cover crops.

A method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent. Examples: hydroponic lettuce, tomato production in nutrient-rich solutions.

Livestock-driven agricultural activity where herders move from one place to another seeking pastures. Examples: reindeer herding in the Arctic, goat herding among the Bedouins.

Characterized by low labor intensity and large land areas, focusing on a low yield per acre but a potentially large yield overall. Examples: ranching in Australia, cereal farming in Russia.

Combines crop production with raising livestock, aiming to diversify sources of income and reduce risk. Examples: crop-livestock systems in the Midwest USA, smallholdings in India.

Farming practice aimed at producing crops and livestock for sale in the market, often using advanced technology. Examples: large-scale wheat farms in the USA, dairy farms in Europe.

Traditional agricultural system where farmers shift from one field to another allowing soil to recover. Examples: slash-and-burn agriculture in the Amazon, milpa in Mesoamerica.

Large-scale farming of a single crop for commercial purposes, typically found in tropical regions. Examples: banana plantations in Central America, tea plantations in India.

Involves the use of information technology and tools like GPS and sensors to manage land and crop production efficiently. Examples: GPS-guided tractors, drone surveillance for crop health.

Focused on the breeding, raising, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, algae, and other aquatic organisms. Examples: fish farms, oyster beds.

A modern approach to farming that involves growing crops in stacked layers, often integrating hydroponic systems. Examples: urban indoor vertical farms, container farms.

Agricultural practice taking place within city limits using limited space in creative ways, such as rooftop or balcony gardening. Examples: community gardens, rooftop greenhouses.
