Precision, Genetic and Holistic Farming Approaches

Whole-farm approaches and improvement methods that shape how farming is organized or how the plants and animals themselves are chosen, including organic farming, permaculture, precision agriculture and selective breeding. Belongs here: any practice that is a broad approach to farm management or genetic improvement rather than a single field operation. Does not belong here: a single conservation, rotation or pest-management operation, which belongs to its own operational group above even when practiced within an organic or precision system.
