Flashcards
0/20
Crop Rotation
Promotes a variety of habitats and reduces pests without chemicals.
Polyculture Farming
Increases the diversity of plant species and creates a more resilient ecosystem.
Agroforestry
Incorporates trees to enhance biodiversity and protect soil.
Cover Cropping
Prevents soil erosion and promotes habitat diversity.
No-till Farming
Reduces soil disturbance, preserving soil microhabitats.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Reduces the need for chemical pesticides, safeguarding non-target species.
Organic Farming
Avoids synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, fostering biodiversity.
Heritage and Heirloom Varieties
Maintains genetic diversity of crop species.
Conservation Tillage
Preserves soil organic matter and biodiversity.
Biocontrol
Uses natural predators to manage pests, reducing reliance on pesticides.
Companion Planting
Promotes beneficial interactions between plants to improve biodiversity.
Seed Banking
Preserves genetic diversity through storage of seeds.
Permaculture
Creates sustainable and self-sufficient agricultural systems that conserve biodiversity.
Buffer Strips
Protects waterways and creates wildlife corridors.
Biodynamic Farming
Views the farm as a living organism and encourages ecological balance.
Fallowing
Leaving land unplanted for a period to restore fertility and prevent habitat loss.
Beekeeping (Apiculture)
Supports pollination, which is crucial for plant diversity.
Aquaponics
Combines fish farming with plant cultivation, supporting aquatic biodiversity.
Genetic Modification (GM)
Can be used to protect species from pests and diseases, though it's controversial regarding biodiversity.
Habitat Restoration
Rehabilitates damaged ecosystems to revive biodiversity.
