- 3. Buffer Strips, are areas or strips of land maintained in permanent vegetation, designed to intercept pollutants and erosion.
- 9. Farming, management strategy that employs detailed, site-specific information to precisely manage production inputs.
- 13. Capacity, is the theoretical equilibrium population size at which a particular population in a particular environment will stabilize when its supply of resources remains constant.
- 14. range of preventive tactics and biological controls to keep pest population within acceptable limits.
- 16. Tillage, is a term that covers a broad range of soil tillage systems that leave residue cover on the soil surface, substantially reducing the effects of soil erosion from wind and water.

- 10. Management, managing the amount, source, placement, form, and timing of the application of nutrients and soil amendments to ensure adequate soil fertility for plant production and to minimise the potential for environmental degradation, particularly water quality impairment.
- 11. Agriculture, is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems.
- 12. A seal or logo indicating that a product has met a set of environmental or social standards.
- 15. Development, meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
