Agribusiness: This involves the management and marketing of products and services related to farming, such as supply chain management, logistics, processing, and marketing of agricultural products.
Organic farming: This involves producing crops and livestock using natural methods without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Precision farming: Also known as smart farming, this involves the use of technology such as GPS and sensors to optimize farming practices and improve efficiency.
Hydroponics: This involves growing plants without soil, using nutrient solutions in a water-based, nutrient-rich solution. This method of farming is suited for small spaces and urban farming.
Biodynamic farming: This involves using a holistic approach to farming that takes into consideration not only the nutrients, but also the cosmic and spiritual energy that impacts the growth of plants and animals.
Urban farming: This involves growing crops and raising animals in an urban setting such as rooftops, backyards, and community gardens. This type of farming is gaining popularity as cities seek to create sustainable food systems for growing populations.
