====Aquafarming====
*[[Aquaculture]] &ndash; farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants.

===== Types of farming =====
*[[Alligator farm]]ing &ndash; establishment for breeding and raising of crocodilians in order to produce meat, leather, and other goods.
* [[Aquaculture]] &ndash; farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants. 
*[[Contract farming]] &ndash; agricultural production carried out according to an agreement between a buyer and farmers
*[[Dairy farming]] &ndash; class of agricultural, or an animal husbandry, enterprise, for long-term production of milk, usually from dairy cows but also from goats and sheep, which may be either processed on-site or transported to a dairy factory for processing and eventual retail sale.
*[[Integrated farming]] &ndash; more integrated approach to farming as compared to existing monoculture approaches. It refers to agricultural systems that integrate livestock and crop production and may sometimes be known as Integrated Biosystems.
* [[Orchard]]ry &ndash; managing orchards, intentional planting of trees or shrubs that are maintained for food production. Orchards comprise fruit or nut-producing trees which are grown for commercial production.
*[[Organic farming]] &ndash; form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as [[crop rotation]], [[green manure]], compost and [[biological pest control]].
* [[Pig farming]] &ndash; 
* [[Poultry farming]]
*[[Sericulture]] &ndash; silk farming, the rearing of silkworms for the production of raw silk.
* [[Sheep husbandry]] &ndash; specifically dealing with the raising and breeding of domestic sheep.
* [[Viticulture]] &ndash; the cultivation and harvesting of grapes.

===== Farming facilities =====

* [[Crop]]s &ndash; non-animal species or variety that is grown to be harvested as food, livestock fodder, fuel or for any other economic purpose.
** [[Orchard]] &ndash; intentional planting of trees or shrubs that is maintained for food production.
* [[Farm]] &ndash; an area of land, together with the buildings on it, that is used for growing crops or raising animals, usually in order to sell them.
* [[Greenhouse]] &ndash; building in which plants are grown.

===== Farming equipment =====
[[Farm equipment]] &ndash; any kind of machinery used on a farm to help with farming.
*[[Baler]] &ndash; piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut and raked crop (such as hay, cotton, straw, or silage) into compact bales that are easy to handle, transport and store.
*[[Combine harvester]] &ndash; or simply combine, is a machine that harvests grain crops.
*[[Farm tractor]] &ndash; vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction.
*[[Manure spreader]] used to distribute manure over a field as a fertilizer. 
*[[Mower]] &ndash; machine for cutting grass or other plants that grow on the ground. Usually mowing is distinguished from reaping, which uses similar implements, but is the traditional term for harvesting grain crops, e.g. with reapers and combines.
*[[Pickup truck]] &ndash; is a light motor vehicle with an open-top rear cargo area (bed).
*[[Plough]] &ndash; is a tool (or machine) used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting. It has been a basic instrument for most of recorded history, and represents one of the major advances in agriculture.

=====Farming products=====
*[[Livestock]] &ndash; domesticated animals raised in an agricultural setting to produce commodities such as food, fiber and labor. The term "livestock" as used in this article does not include poultry or farmed fish; however the inclusion of these, especially poultry, within the meaning of "livestock" is common.
**[[Cattle]] &ndash; most common type of large domesticated ungulates.
**[[Pig]]s &ndash; any of the animals in the genus Sus.
**[[Poultry]] &ndash; category of domesticated birds kept by humans for the purpose of collecting their eggs, or killing for their meat and/or feathers.
**[[Sheep]] &ndash; are quadrupedal, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock.
*[[Produce]] &ndash; farm-produced goods, not limited to fruits and vegetables (i.e. meats, grains, oats, etc.).
**[[Grain]]s &ndash; grasses (members of the monocot family Poaceae, also known as Gramineae) cultivated for the edible components of their grain (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis), composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran.
**[[Fruit]]s &ndash; part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries.
**[[Legume]]s &ndash; plant in the family Fabaceae (or Leguminosae), or a fruit of these specific plants. A legume fruit is a simple dry fruit that develops from a simple carpel and usually dehisces (opens along a seam) on two sides.
**[[Nut (fruit)]]s &ndash; hard-shelled indehiscent fruit of some plants. While a wide variety of dried seeds and fruits are called nuts in English, only a certain number of them are considered by biologists to be true nuts.
**[[Vegetable]]s &ndash; edible plant or part of a plant, but usually excludes seeds and most sweet fruit. This typically means the leaf, stem, or root of a plant.

===== Farming methods and practices =====
* [[Aeroponics]] &ndash; the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium.
* [[Aquaponics]] &ndash; combines aquaculture with hydroponics in a symbiotic environment.
*[[Artificial selection]] &ndash; describes intentional breeding for certain traits, or combination of traits.
*[[Field day (agriculture)]] &ndash; related to a show is the "field day", with elements of a trade show for machinery, equipment and skills required for broadacre farming.
*[[Grazing]] &ndash; a method of feeding in which a herbivore feeds on plants such as grasses.
*[[Hydroponics]] &ndash; a method of growing plants without soil.
*[[Intercropping]] &ndash; practice of growing two or more crops in proximity.
*[[Irrigation]] &ndash; artificial application of water to the land or soil.
*[[Permaculture]] &ndash; theory of ecological design which attempts to develop sustainable human settlements and agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems.
*[[Pollination management]] &ndash; horticultural practices that accomplish or enhance pollination of a crop, to improve yield or quality, by understanding of the particular crop's pollination needs, and by knowledgeable management of pollenizers, pollinators, and pollination conditions.
* [[Sustainable agriculture]] &ndash; practice of farming using principles of ecology, the study of relationships between organisms and their environment.

====Apiculture (Beekeeping)====
