An alternative term for geoponics; the science and practice of agriculture and farming.
From Greek geoponos (farmer) + -y (noun suffix), creating a variant of 'geoponics' with slightly different construction. Used less commonly than geoponics in modern English.
While 'geopony' is archaic, it reminds us that agriculture was once considered a formal science worthy of its own grand name—today we've fragmented it into agronomy, soil science, and horticulture, losing the unity that ancients saw in 'earth-work.'
