Agriculture

Agriculture is the practice of cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising livestock for food, fiber, and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. It encompasses a range of activities, including planting, harvesting, breeding, and managing animals, as well as the production of goods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and livestock. Agriculture plays a crucial role in the economy, providing the basis for food security and rural development. It is also tied to various cultural practices and ecological systems, influencing diets, landscapes, and communities. In modern contexts, agriculture includes both traditional practices and advanced techniques such as biotechnology, sustainable farming, and precision agriculture aimed at increasing efficiency and environmental stewardship.
