Carbon sequestering
The process of capturing Carbon Dioxide released by farmers and storing it underground or in reservoirs. This reduces the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere.
Crop Rotation
The practice of growing first one and then another crop on the same land especially to preserve the ability of the soil to produce crops.
Water Efficient Irrigation Systems
Irrigation is the easy process which water is brought to land through a wide variety of a artificial means. The land that is being irrigated usually contains crops, grass or vegetation that has trouble usually receiving enough water from rainfall or other natural sources such as rivers, lakes, wells.
Integrated Pest Management
An approach to pest management that combines understanding the causes of pest outbreaks, to determine if and when the use of pesticides is indicated.
Telemetry Systems
Using co-ordinates of the farmer’s fields to calculate how much resources are needed to grow a certain crop.
Transgenic Cotton
Transgenic cotton is the cotton plant that has been genetically modified to reduce the heavy reliance on pesticides against insects. Cotton has also been modified to produce more cotton from each plant.

Round Balers
A baler is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut and raked crop into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport, and store.
Precision Farming
Precision Farming involves using a Global Positioning Device (GPS) to guide their tractors to harvest, water and to apply pesticide to their crops.
Fabric Innovations
The process of changing the way we make different fabrics by modifying the cotton to make more breathable, sturdy fabrics to last longer.
A device used to track the farmer’s tractor to give the perfect amounts of water and pesticide to their crops.
This is expensive and still needs a lot of time to be perfected.
