Agriculture

Agriculture is the practice of cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising animals for food, fiber, and other products essential to human survival. It is the backbone of many economies and a key source of livelihood for billions of people worldwide. Agricultural activities range from small-scale, subsistence farming to large-scale industrial farming, with diverse crops such as grains, fruits, vegetables, and cash crops like cotton and coffee. Modern agriculture incorporates advanced technologies, irrigation systems, and sustainable practices to increase productivity while conserving resources. In addition to food production, agriculture plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and providing raw materials for industries like textiles and biofuels.
