Crop
A crop is a plant that can be grown and harvested extensively for profit or subsistence.
Ecological design
Ecological design or ecodesign is an approach to designing products and services that gives special consideration to the environmental impacts of a product over its entire lifecycle.
See Bioshelter and Ecological design
Ecosystem

Fish
A fish (fish or fishes) is an aquatic, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animal with swimming fins and a hard skull, but lacking limbs with digits.

New Alchemy Institute
The New Alchemy Institute was a research center that did pioneering investigation into organic agriculture, aquaculture and bioshelter design between 1969 and 1991.
See Bioshelter and New Alchemy Institute
Nutrient
A nutrient is a substance used by an organism to survive, grow and reproduce.
Nutrient cycle
A nutrient cycle (or ecological recycling) is the movement and exchange of inorganic and organic matter back into the production of matter.
See Bioshelter and Nutrient cycle
Petrochemical
Petrochemicals (sometimes abbreviated as petchems) are the chemical products obtained from petroleum by refining.

The Ark (Prince Edward Island)
The Ark was a bioshelter constructed in Spry Point, Prince Edward Island, designed by architects David Bergmark and Ole Hammarlund, who relocated from the USA to design the project under their firm's name Solsearch Architects. Bioshelter and the Ark (Prince Edward Island) are Artificial ecosystems.
