Agriculture
Agriculture is the production of food, feed, fiber and other goods by the systematic growing and harvesting of plants and animals. “Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian Economy”- said Mahatma Gandhi five decades ago.It is the production of food and goods through farming. Agriculture was the key development that led to the rise of human civilization, with the husbandry of domesticated animals and plants creating food surpluses that enabled the development of more densely populated and stratified societies. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science. Agriculture is that sector of an economy concerned with the production of food and food products both for domestic use, in (industrial) production and (household) consumption, and for export to external markets. Although it is often difficult to define the sectoral boundaries of agriculture with precision, agriculture is critical to the process of economic growth and economic development. Articles:
