Ecological agriculture, also known as eco-agriculture, is a farming approach that aligns with ecological principles and emphasizes environmental sustainability. While sharing similarities with sustainable agriculture, ecological agriculture places a stronger emphasis on specific technologies and practices... Ecological agriculture integrates ecological processes into agricultural systems to reduce negative environmental impacts and promote sustainable productivity. In contrast to conventional practices that are reliant on synthetic fertilizers and insecticides, ecological agriculture emphasizes working in harmony with nature and utilizing natural inputs and techniques, such as organic fertilizers, crop rotation, agroforestry, biological pest control, and alternative cultivation.  3, record 2, English, - ecological%20agriculture

Low-input agriculture is one of several alternative farming systems whose methods are adaptable to sustainable agriculture. Low-input farming is based on a reduction--but not necessarily elimination--of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides.
