Animal-free agriculture, also known as plant agriculture, plant-based agriculture, veganic agriculture, stockfree farming, plant farming or veganic farming, consists of farming methods that do not use animals or animal products.[1][2][3]
Animal-free growers do not keep domesticated animals and do not use animal products such as farmed animal manures or animal parts (bone meal, blood meal, fish meal) to fertilize their crops.[4] Emphasis is placed on using green manures and plant-based compost instead.[5][6]
'Stock-free' farming avoids any use of domesticated animals, including animal manures and slaughterhouse by-products.
