  1. Agricultural Production Systems Sam Ross

  2. Overview • Industrial Agriculture • Advanced Systems: • Hydroponics • Aquaponics • Organic Agriculture • Integrated aquaculture (i.e. ancient hawaii, china) • Shade-grown crops • Permanent Agriculture • Multi-crop systems (Ex: the corn, soy, and squash) • Small-Scale Agriculture • Subsistence Agriculture

  3. Shade-Grown Coffee

  4. Hydroponics

  5. Intensive Livestock Operations

  6. Process • Review each type of system in terms of: • Where they are implemented • What is required for implementation • Constraints on use • Productivity/acre

  7. Outcome: Comparison Overarching Goal: Compare different crop systems in terms of multiple characteristics, such as: • Cost • Time until profitability • ‘Riskiness’ – i.e. vulnerability to demand and weather • Environmental requirements • Environmental impact
