Aquaponics
Combines fish farming with plant cultivation, supporting aquatic biodiversity.
Habitat Restoration
Rehabilitates damaged ecosystems to revive biodiversity.
Agroforestry
Incorporates trees to enhance biodiversity and protect soil.
Permaculture
Creates sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural systems that conserve biodiversity.
Polyculture Farming
Increases the diversity of plant species and creates a more resilient ecosystem.
Heritage and Heirloom Varieties
