Types of Modern Farming Methods - JSS3 Agricultural Science Lesson Note

1. Precision Farming: Involves using technology such as GPS, sensors, and drones to optimise crop yields by precisely managing inputs like water, fertilisers, and pesticides.

2. Vertical Farming: Utilises vertical space to grow crops in stacked layers or vertically inclined surfaces, often in controlled indoor environments, maximising space and resource efficiency.

3. Hydroponics and Aeroponics: Soilless cultivation methods where plants grow in nutrient-rich water solutions, allowing for precise control of nutrient levels and improved resource utilisation.
