Crop Rotation: Alternating the types of crops grown in a particular field to enhance soil fertility and reduce the risk of pests and diseases.

Agroforestry: Integrating trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes to improve soil structure, provide shade, and diversify production.

Organic Farming: Avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, focusing on natural methods to maintain soil health and reduce environmental impact.

Conservation Tillage: Minimising soil disturbance during planting to prevent erosion and improve water retention.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Using a combination of biological, cultural, and mechanical methods to control pests, reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides.
