That portion of feedstuffs composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and other polysaccharides which serve as structural and protective parts of plants (high in forages and low in grains).

Cryptogams is an unformal and traditionally distinguished group of organisms that do not produce flowers, and instead propagate mainly by various types of diaspores developed through different sexual and asexual processes. Cryptogams include, for example, lichens, algae, bryophytes, and ferns. (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/plants/special_issues/SI_Cryptogams)
Strained honey is honey of any type defined in these standards that has been strained to the extent that most of the particles, including comb, propolis, or other defects normally found in honey, have been removed.

Form of suspended culture in which the ongrowing structures (ropes, etc.) are suspended from a raft. Utilizes moored, floating rafts mostly for coastal shellfish culture; holes are punched in old shells and the shells are placed on strings, which are attached to the raft structure; after settling of spat on the shells, the rafts may be anchored in good growing areas.

The process of improving the efficiency, productivity, quality, and sustainability of agricultural practices. This involves a variety of activities and initiatives aimed at enhancing the overall performance of the agricultural sector, including the use of advanced farming techniques and technologies, improved quality of inputs like seeds and fertilizers, and providing farmers with better access to markets. (FAOLEX. 2025. Glossary https://www.fao.org/faolex/)

Traction, traction force or tractive force is a force used to generate motion between a body and a tangential surface, through the use of either dry friction or shear force. Traction can also refer to the maximum tractive force between a body and a surface, as limited by available friction. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_(engineering))
