    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Increase pesticide use
    b) Install traditional irrigation systems
    c) Implement precision agriculture techniques
    d) Continue using fossil fuels

Answer: c) Implement precision agriculture techniques. 

Precision agriculture utilizes technology such as sensors and drones to gather data on crop and soil conditions, allowing farmers to apply fertilizers and pesticides more efficiently, reducing waste and improving crop yields.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use traditional tillage methods
    b) Implement no-till farming practices
    c) Increase water usage
    d) Use chemical fertilizers without regard to their environmental impact

Answer: b) Implement no-till farming practices.

 No-till farming is a sustainable technique that involves leaving crop residue on the soil surface rather than tilling it under, which can improve soil health, reduce erosion, and decrease the need for fossil-fuel-powered equipment.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use non-biodegradable packaging for crops
    b) Implement smart packaging that extends shelf life
    c) Use disposable plastic bags to transport crops
    d) Use wooden crates for crop transportation

Answer: b) Implement smart packaging that extends shelf life. 

Smart packaging technology can help to reduce food waste by extending the shelf life of crops, which can also reduce transportation-related emissions.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Implement monoculture farming techniques
    b) Use traditional, non-organic farming methods
    c) Implement agroforestry practices
    d) Increase use of synthetic fertilizers

Answer: c) Implement agroforestry practices. 

Agroforestry is a sustainable farming technique that involves integrating trees with crops, providing multiple benefits such as soil conservation, water conservation, and carbon sequestration.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use traditional feed and grazing methods for livestock
    b) Implement precision livestock farming techniques
    c) Increase use of antibiotics in livestock feed
    d) Rely on feedlots for livestock management

Answer: b) Implement precision livestock farming techniques. 

Precision livestock farming involves using technology such as sensors and data analytics to monitor livestock health, behavior, and productivity, allowing farmers to improve animal welfare, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use conventional lighting for indoor farming
    b) Implement LED lighting for indoor farming
    c) Use high-pressure sodium lamps for indoor farming
    d) Install incandescent light bulbs for indoor farming

Answer: b) Implement LED lighting for indoor farming. 

LED lighting is an energy-efficient alternative to traditional lighting sources, reducing energy consumption and operating costs for indoor farming.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use traditional harvesting equipment
    b) Implement autonomous harvesting robots
    c) Increase water usage during harvesting
    d) Use inefficient drying methods for crops

Answer: b) Implement autonomous harvesting robots. 

Autonomous harvesting robots can improve efficiency and reduce waste during the harvesting process by accurately selecting and picking crops, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing crop damage.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use traditional transportation methods for crops
    b) Implement electric or hybrid vehicles for crop transportation
    c) Increase use of non-biodegradable packaging
    d) Rely on fossil-fuel-powered trucks for crop transportation

Answer: b) Implement electric or hybrid vehicles for crop transportation. 

Electric or hybrid vehicles produce fewer emissions and have lower operating costs than traditional fossil-fuel-powered vehicles, making them a more sustainable option for crop transportation.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use traditional irrigation methods
    b) Implement drip irrigation systems
    c) Increase use of synthetic fertilizers
    d) Use large-scale watering systems that waste water

Answer: b) Implement drip irrigation systems. 

Drip irrigation systems can reduce water usage by delivering water directly to plant roots, minimizing water waste and improving crop yields.

    What is an example of a way a farm could apply new technology to improve sustainability?

    a) Use traditional pest control methods
    b) Implement integrated pest management techniques
    c) Increase pesticide use
    d) Use chemical fertilizers without regard to their environmental impact

Answer: b) Implement integrated pest management techniques. 

Integrated pest management involves using a variety of sustainable techniques such as crop rotation, natural predators, and biological control agents to control pests and reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
