While there are numerous well-known agricultural innovations and practices, there are some lesser-known “agricultural miracles” that have had a significant impact on farming and food production. Here are a few you may not be familiar with

1. System of Rice Intensification (SRI): SRI is a groundbreaking agricultural methodology developed in the 1980s that dramatically improves rice yields. It involves planting young rice seedlings singly, using organic matter as a soil conditioner, and carefully managing water. SRI has resulted in substantial yield increases, reduced water usage, and improved soil health, particularly in rice-growing regions.
2. Vertical Farming: Vertical farming is an innovative approach to growing crops in stacked layers or vertically inclined surfaces, often in urban environments. It uses hydroponics, aquaponics, and advanced LED lighting systems to maximize crop production in a limited space. This method can lead to increased crop yields and reduced transportation costs.
3. Aeroponics: Aeroponics is a soilless growing method that suspends plant roots in the air and regularly mists them with a nutrient-rich solution. This highly efficient and water-saving technique is particularly suited for growing leafy greens, herbs, and vegetables. It can significantly increase crop productivity in small spaces
