Agriculture is the practice of cultivating soil, planting and harvesting crops, and raising livestock to produce food products. It is the foundation of the global food system - the primary source of all the food we consume. Combined with forestry and aquaculture, the agriculture industry produces around 11 billion tons of food and 32 MT of natural fibers. Agriculture and the food industry are central to food supply, increasing employment, and strengthening the global trade sector. This sector is considered 2-3 times more effective at reducing poverty by creating millions of jobs across the supply chain. Did you know that around half of the world's population works in agriculture or is somehow related to this industry? Additionally, the economic growth of various countries also depends heavily on agriculture and the food industry.
The earliest evidence of agriculture was found in modern-day Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The Natufian culture inhabited this area around 9500 BCE, and they used to cultivate wheat and barley. It is believed that in the northeastern countries, the last ice age witnessed some major climatic changes which brought favourable conditions for annual plants like wild cereals. Furthermore, the origin of rice and millet farming dates back to the Neolithic period in China. After the discovery of the most common agricultural foods was done, it was then divided into two types of crops - field crops (pulses, oil seeds, cereals, etc) and horticultural crops (apples, strawberries, etc). Some of the most consumed agricultural products are wheat, cereal, oilseeds, dairy products, and others. Their numerous food products are what keep them at the human dietary pyramid to provide them with essential nutrients and vitamins.
A few fun facts about agriculture and food:
Agricultural food is a basic human need, whether you’re a dedicated vegetarian or have a more diverse diet. But at the same time, not every country can be rich in all types of agricultural products. This is due to the uneven distribution of land and the varied climatic conditions of different countries. All of which is responsible for the agriculture and food trade among various countries. India especially has a strong presence in the global agricultural trade. It stands at the 8th rank among the world's largest agriculture exporting countries, with its major markets in Bangladesh, the USA, China, Vietnam, the UAE, Indonesia, and others. Indian spices are in high demand in most of these countries.
