Agriculture is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber,

biofuel, medicinal and other products used to sustain and enhance human life.. The study
of agriculture is known as agricultural science. The history of agriculture dates back
thousands of years, and its development has been driven and defined by greatly different
climates, cultures, and technologies. However, all farming generally relies on techniques to
expand and maintain the lands that are suitable for raising domesticated species. For
plants, this usually requires some form of irrigation, although there are methods of dryland
farming. Livestock are raised in a combination of grassland-based and landless systems, in
an industry that covers almost one-third of the world's ice- and water-free area. In the
developed world, industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture has become the
dominant system of modern farming, although there is growing support for sustainable
agriculture, including permaculture and organic agriculture. Until the Industrial Revolution,
the vast majority of the human population labored in agriculture. Pre-industrial agriculture
was typically subsistence agriculture/self-sufficiency in which farmers raised most of their
crops for their own consumption instead of cash crops for trade. A remarkable shift in
agricultural practices has occurred over the past century in response to new technologies
and the development of world markets. This also has led to technological improvements in
agricultural techniques such as the Haber-Bosch method for synthesizing ammonium
nitrate which made the traditional practice of recycling nutrients with crop rotation and
animal manure less important. Modern agronomy, plant breeding, agrochemicals such as
pesticides and fertilizers, and technological improvements have sharply increased yields
from cultivation, but at the same time have caused widespread ecological damage and
negative human health effects. Selective breeding and modern practices in animal
husbandry have similarly increased the output of meat, but have raised concerns about
animal welfare and the health effects of the antibiotics, growth hormones, and other
chemicals commonly used in industrial meat production. Genetically modified organisms
are an increasing component of agriculture, although they are banned in several countries.
Agricultural food production and water management are increasingly becoming global
issues that are fostering debate on a number of fronts. Significant degradation of land and
water resources, including the depletion of aquifers, has been observed in recent decades,
and the effects of global warming on agriculture and of agriculture on global warming are
still not fully understood. The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods,

fibers, fuels, and raw materials. Specific foods include cereals ,vegetables, fruits, oils,
meats and spices. Fibers include cotton, wool, silk and flax. Raw materials include lumber
and bamboo. Other useful materials are produced by plants, such as, dyes, drugs,
perfumes, and ornamental products.
Some agricultural products are:
Carrots:

Carrots are basically root vegetables. A carrot plant has green leaves and a long slender
orange root that is edible. Carrots contain high amounts of such as Vitamin A. Carrots offer

The Use Of Meat

That meat is an emergency expedient in the natural nutrition of man is pretty certain.
Strictly speaking, we are all of us subsisting on meat all of the time, but it. is only one
degree removed from the vegetable kingdom, when we ingest only the first fruits of the soil,
as vegetarians do, and make meat of it within us. The vegetable nutriment is transformed
into our own flesh and blood in the form of fat chiefly, and then is used to furnish whatever
heat and repair material we happen to need.

Potatoes
