This dimension sorts agricultural practices by their basic class, a soil practice, a water practice or a pest management practice. Wikipedia notes that sustainable agriculture "involves preventing adverse effects on soil, water, biodiversity, and surrounding or downstream resources." Browsing by practice class keeps practices addressing the same resource grouped together.
