๐ŸŸฅDifferent Types of farming - Most Important Article


๐ŸŸ Carbon Farming
Carbon farming (also known as carbon sequestration) is a system of agricultural management that helps the land store more carbon and reduce the amount of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) that it releases into the atmosphere.

โšซ๏ธZero Budget natural farming
Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) is a type of chemical-free farming where the total cost of growing and harvesting plants comes out to be zero .


๐ŸŸ Mixed farming
Mixed farming is a type of farming which involves both the growing of crops and the raising of livestock.


โšซ๏ธVertical Farming
- Vertical farming grows crops in vertical, stacked layers without putting too much impact on land and water resources
-In 1915, Gilbert Ellis Bailey coined the term vertical farming and he went on to write a namesake book.
- Aeroponics and hydroponics are Vertical farming systems.

๐ŸŸ Hydroponics
-It is a method of growing plants in a water-based, nutrient-rich solution.
-In this, the root system is supported using an inert medium such as perlite, clay pellets, peat moss or vermiculite.
- Purpose is to provide access to oxygen which is essential for proper growth.

โšซ๏ธAeroponics
- It is an environment-friendly way of farming in which the roots are suspended in the air and plants grow in a humid environment without soil.
- The roots of the plants, in this method, are sprayed with water and nutrient solution.
- This technique enables farmers to control humidity, temperature, pH levels and water conductivity inside a greenhouse.

๐ŸŸ Aquaponics
-Aquaponics is a system that combines hydroponics and aquaculture within a closed system.
-There are three biological components in the aquaponics process: fishes, plants, and bacteria.
-The system represents a symbiotic relationship between the plants and the fishes; the fish feces is used as fertilizer for the plants, and the plants clean the water for the fish.
