All four practices are considered to be practices of eco-friendly agriculture.

Crop diversification enhances soil health and reduces reliance on synthetic inputs by breaking pest/disease cycles and utilizing nutrients more efficiently. Legume intensification improves soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Tensiometer use aids in precise irrigation scheduling, conserving water and energy. Vertical farming, when implemented sustainably (e.g., using renewable energy, closed-loop systems), reduces land use, water consumption, and transport emissions compared to conventional farming.

Eco-friendly agriculture encompasses a range of practices aimed at minimizing environmental impact, conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity while maintaining agricultural productivity. These practices often focus on soil health, water management, reduced chemical use, and resource efficiency.
