Farmers use different approaches to grow crops, depending on their goals, resources, and local conditions. Some methods rely on machinery and commercially produced fertilisers, while others place greater emphasis on natural processes, organic inputs, or reduced chemical use. Newer approaches may use controlled environments and technology to manage plant growth. Each approach has its own methods, costs, requirements, and limitations. In this lesson, you will receive an introduction to the different ways crops can be cultivated and learn why there is no single farming method that suits every farm or situation.
