1. Permaculture:
Mimicking nature: Creates self-sustaining systems with diverse plants, animals, and features that work together.
Resource efficiency: Focuses on minimizing waste, maximizing water use, and building healthy soil.

2. Biodynamic Farming:
Holistic view: Treats the farm as a living organism, considering cosmic influences and spiritual principles.
Compost & preparations: Uses specific preparations and compost methods to enhance soil fertility and vitality.

3. Hydroponics & Aquaponics:
Soilless growth: Plants thrive in water-based systems with controlled nutrients, reducing land and water use.
Nutrient recycling: Aquaponics combines fish farming with plant production, creating a closed-loop system.

4. Urban Agriculture:
Local food: Grows food closer to consumers, reducing transportation and increasing food security.
Green spaces: Creates urban gardens and farms, improving air quality and community well-being.

5. Agroforestry & Food Forests:
Multifunctional systems: Integrates trees, crops, and animals for biodiversity, soil health, and income.
Carbon sequestration: Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide, mitigating climate change.

6. Polycultures & Crop Rotation:
Reduced pest pressure: Diverse plantings confuse pests and disrupt their life cycles.
Improved soil health: Different crops utilize nutrients differently, fostering richer soil.
