Agriculture is made up of livestock production, aquaculture, fisheries, forestry, animal husbandry and farming (or crop production). From agriculture one can get food and non-food products.[1]
The word agriculture comes from late Middle English which formed it partly from Middle French from the Latin word agricultura. Agricultura comes from the ager/agr meaning “field” and cultura meaning “growing, cultivation”.[2]
Some forms of agriculture are:
- Fish hatchery
- Oyster farming, a kind of aquaculture
- Growing cotton
- Growing tobacco
- Growing trees for lumber (or forestry) and logging[3]
- Raising cattle or other livestock
- cereals (grains),
- vegetables,
- fruits,
- meat,
- milk,
- eggs, and
- mushroom
Important kinds of agricultural products are:
- fibers
- fuels
- raw materials (such as rubber).
- classes (or kinds) of food
There are views about what is different between farming and agriculture.[4][5]
