Comparisons of Different Methods Farming Comparisons of Different Methods

Subsistence Growing food for your own use.

Cash Crop Growing a crop to sell for money.

Conventional Using Mostly fossil fuel powered farm equipment instead of human labor. Synthetic chemical pesticides to kill pests/insects. Synthetic chemical herbicides to kill weeds. Synthetic chemical fertilizer to increase soil fertility.

Organic Using Some fossil fuel powered machinery but usually a higher percentage of human and animal based power. Natural methods of pest and weed control including: Biological control Hand picking Mechanized weeding Natural fertilizers either made from animal manure or composted organic material.

Biological Control Encouraging/introducing natural predators and diseases that kill pests and weeds. Using farm animals such as goats or chickens to eat weeds/insect pests. Directly introducing a predator. Using natural landscape features to give predators a place to live/overwinter in.

Biological Control

Integrated Pest Management Using mostly organic pest management and some targeted applications of least toxic pesticides.
