Agriculture

Agriculture refers to the practice of cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising animals for food, fiber, and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including planting, harvesting, and livestock management, as well as the processing, distribution, and marketing of agricultural goods. Agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy by providing food security, employment, and raw materials for various industries. It can be classified into different types, such as subsistence agriculture (focusing on self-sufficiency), commercial agriculture (producing for sale), and sustainable agriculture (practicing environmentally friendly methods). The significance of agriculture extends beyond mere food production; it also impacts social structures, culture, and environmental practices.
