☐ Energy Efficiency
Renewable Energy
Alternative Methodology
Description Still, the use of animal or human power can be found in small scale farms.

Animal traction has many advantages that cannot be replaced by tractors.

Bulls are the most commonly used draft animal, while the donkey is extensively used for transportation. Very few, horses are used for tillage operations.

To simplify agricultural processes and actions cycle or pedal driven implements and tools are in use.
