Study Notes
Definitions and Concepts
- Agriculture is the practice of cultivating soil, producing crops, and raising livestock for food, fiber, and other products.
- Food production encompasses various processes, including planting, harvesting, processing, and distribution of food items.
Types of Farming
- Subsistence farming is a type of farming where farmers grow enough food to feed themselves and their families, often with little surplus for sale.
- Commercial farming refers to large-scale production of crops and livestock aimed primarily at selling on the market for profit.
Knowledge and Skills in Biology
- Basic knowledge of biology pertinent to agriculture includes understanding plant biology, animal husbandry, soil fertility, and pest management.
- Familiarity with biological principles helps improve crop yields and livestock health.
Purpose of Agriculture
- The purpose of agriculture is to provide food, raw materials, and sustenance for the growing population, while also supporting economic stability and development.
Farming Categories
- Types of farming include but are not limited to commercial, subsistence, organic, and intensive farming.
- Identifying non-farming practices involves distinguishing agricultural methods from unrelated activities.
