This book includes education covering the basic principles of agriculture with particular emphasis on quality assurance and improvement of textbooks, offline agriculture course modules. It is important to have a basic understanding of the principles of agriculture.
Agricultural science, science related to the production and processing of food and fiber. They include land cultivation technologies, crop cultivation and harvesting, animal production, and the processing of plant and animal products for human consumption and use.
Food is the most basic human need. The domestication and cultivation of plants and animals that began more than 11,500 years ago aimed to ensure that these needs were met, and then as it is today these activities are also in keeping with the relentless human drive to understand and control Earth's biosphere. Over the past century and a half, many world political leaders have acknowledged what India's Jawaharlal Nehru did, that "most things except agriculture can wait." The scientific method has been widely applied, and its results have revolutionized agricultural production. Under pre-scientific farming conditions, in a good harvest year, six people could produce barely enough food for themselves and four others. Advanced technology has allowed a farmer in the United States, for example, to produce food for more than 100 people. Farmers have been enabled to increase yields per acre and per animal; reduce losses due to disease, pests, and spoilage; and increase cleaner production with better processing methods.
Basics of Agricultural Sciences is a handbook for agricultural studies students that helps them with university exams and for interview preparation. This book includes all the important data needed for students who will take competitive exams (CSS, PPSC, FPSC).
