Concept Class

This dimension sorts agricultural concepts by their basic class, a scientific principle, a farming technique or an economic idea. Wikipedia describes agricultural science as "a broad multidisciplinary field of biology that encompasses the parts of exact, natural, economic and social sciences that are used in the practice and understanding of agriculture." Browsing by concept class keeps ideas from the same kind of field grouped together.
