The section discusses agriculture as a system composed of inputs, processes, and outputs. It categorizes farming into subsistence and commercial types and outlines various agricultural practices such as intensive subsistence farming, shifting cultivation, and commercial grain farming.
Farming, or agriculture, is viewed as a comprehensive system comprising several components. Inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, labor, and machinery play critical roles, with processes including ploughing, sowing, and harvesting transforming these inputs into outputs like crops and livestock products. Agriculture can be classified into various types based on purpose and scale: subsistence farming aims to meet the farmer's family's needs using simple techniques, while commercial farming focuses on mass production for sale. Furthermore, environments, climate, and technology influence farming methods, diversifying the agricultural landscape across different regions.
