Agriculture is the science and art of raising plants and animals. The term has its origins in Latin, where agri means field and crop.

There is growing concern around the world about reducing environmental pollution from the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Crop rotation is the opposite of monoculture and is defined as an agricultural practice that follows the rotation (alternation) of crops on the same land.

Cover crops, or “crop mats,” are an agroecological strategy that provides a number of benefits in cropping technology and soil fertility management.

Precision agriculture (PA) is a new concept in agriculture that uses technology to ensure that both crops and soil get exactly what they need for optimal health and productivity.
